No. That's not technicaly correct. Thieves take away a possession. You can't
use it anymore once it's been stolen. Unlawful copies, on the other hand,
don't deprive the copyright holder of his property, because he can still
claim ownership, and act as a master.
That's why intellectual property is a State temporary privilege, it's not like
the property of a 'real' thing. In the copy process the owner still has the
use of the copied thing.
Don't be fooled by the hype organized by IP holders. This is not the same
league.
