My previous message helpfully contained the definition of theft from
Canada's criminal code, which I expect is very near that of most or all
common law jurisdiction, at least.  If you had paid attention, you'd
have noticed that copyright violation doesn't even vaguely qualify.

Copyright infringement, deliberate or not, is not theft the same way
slapping someone isn't murder: that's simply not what theft /means/.
