Actually the World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty is the more applicable one :) (it's an extension to the Berne treaty to make it cover software). Unfortunately whilst both treaties are very specific in some aspects they are unchallenged very unspecific in other important areas. Also; they establish a civil crime not a criminal one. Theft laws may still apply here in the UK, as it is I know the only massive obstacle to infringement as theft (here in the UK) is the final article - all about the intention to deprive permanently. There are movements by certain pressure groups to get it clarified where the line is drawn. And anyway - the point the video is trying to make is that it is a "moral" theft. I think it's fair to say the copyright holder has the right to say they feel that morally a "pirate" is "stealing" from them :) (Im not defending them or the video - or trying to suggest it should be theft)
