Correct. Copyright infringement is... infringement. Not piracy or stealing.
People treat infringement with more of a Robin Hood mentality than normal stealing since you're copying rather than taking, and because big Intellectual Property Owners all happen to be tax cheats who all do fraudulent accounting to claim their profits all come from their Irish subsidiary yet feel entitled to government enforced monopolies on intellectual property.
You generally get sympathy if you're poor and infringing or being infringed, and don't if you're rich.
