Beyond that, I believe it is simply wrong to deny an author or composer the ability to be compensated for their work. But that's just it. If you make an (illegal) copy of one of my recordings, you do not diminish my capacity to sell copies of that recording to other people. Heck, I can even sell you another copy! The word theft, in my opinion, would be warranted when you take one of my songs, pass it as your own and end up collecting the PRO royalties that would rightfully belong to me. THEN you'll have diminished my capacity to make money with that song. Of course, technically, this is also not theft but infringement.
