We can easily get lost on the definition of words without looking at what the OP was asking. You are correct based on the specific definition of stealing, but I'm pretty sure the OP meant "taking something of value without paying that value".

The OP was obviously using a broader definition, and I used his definitely to answer the question. He uses "piracy" and "stealing" in the same question, so I think his meaning is clear.
