Stealing is obviously a dumb analogy, it doesn’t remove the ownership from the original owner.
You are selling computers, I buy one then I find a way to replicate the computers you are selling and I give them away for free, it makes me a thief? or the end consumer a thief?
Originality and work is definitely yours, so it’s definitely a gray area, but quite an exaggeration to call it theft.
Last point is the related studies that people pirating are either getting it for free or never paying for it anyways.
