Absolutely. But what matters is the legal definition of theft, not
your definition, and the legal definition of theft is clear that reproducing copyrighted material without the permission of the copyright holder is copyright infringement,
not theft, or stealing, or the ridiculously named "piracy".

I see little difference from the legal definition.

It doesn't matter what
you see. It matters what the law states, and, as above, this is copyright infringement, not theft.
Jumping up and down and calling it theft just because you don't like it, doesn't make it theft. The law trumps emotion.
