Incorrect. Show me here where it says copyright infringment is theft: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/intellectual-property-crime-and-infringement

Or if you're American: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement

"However, copyright is a type of intellectual property, an area of law distinct from that which covers robbery or theft, offenses related only to tangible property. Not all copyright infringement results in commercial loss, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1985 that infringement does not easily equate with theft."
