Wrong - theft deprives the owner of the product; copyright infringement deprives the rights owner of the revenue. What might help people to value the right of the owner to his revenue is a little less excess from pop stars and record company moguls. The common perception is 'they're making a fortune, so why should I pay them more?'. I'm not condoning it, but I do understand it.
