You are a thief if you actually steal something. As in take it away from a person.
Piracy is getting a copy that's shared by someone (who most likely has the hard copy). But even if the person sharing hasn't got the original it's still not the same as stealing. Making/dpwnloading a copy and not buying IS NOT stealing.
Going into a store and take the CD whitpout paying for it, now that's stealing.

interesting point
so in financial terms, to be a thief, i would have to physically rob a bank
but if i just made money disappear from someone elses account and appear in mine that would be ok?
