Yeah piracy is at least kinda sorta stealing. That being said, I place no value on money so everyone go pirate everything for all I give a fuck. And sometimes people pirate shit before buying it, so that's more like a self-made free trial.
Not to mention, there are cases where what has been called 'pirating' is actually legitimate. Such as with certain video games requiring constant internet access where people do not want or cannot connect to the internet at all times so they download or have a friend download a fan-made patch that enables them to play the game they bought on their own terms.
