Not saying it's necessarily not bad. But I really wish people would stop equating piracy with the word "stealing". They're different things.

That's not how it works though. Someone who distributes a bunch of copied CD's to his mates isn't stealing.

What we're talking about is intellectual property rights. Not theft.
