Pirating a song is not the same as stealing. Why is this so hard for most people to understand?

Stealing deprives the original owner of the item. Piracy does no such thing.

Theft is taking anything of value. The song, the movie, the book, or copyrighted material is the product of labor, skill, and investment of resources.

You're hurting the creators of the material by stealing the work.

So it isn't theft because the owner still has a copy?
