It's not stealing, It's infringing copyright. Man the RIAA or BSA exec who pulled off that bit of NewSpeak was a genius.
In many places, public drunkenness is against the law, and so is vehicular homicide due to driving drunk. In many places, copyright infringement is against the law and so is theft. One is worse than the other. There's no point in pretending there's the same thing unless you want to inflate the perception of harm by associating the lesser with the greater wrong.
