From my understanding theft has always been to take something and after the other party doesn’t have it anymore. This never applied to piracy.
For example: I used to pirate games back in school as I didn’t have the money to buy them. So there is no financial loss for the company. Yet they still frame it as bank robbery or something. “You wouldn’t download a car”
Hollywood was so adamant about “not downloading a car”.
That was a meme. The original ads were always “you wouldn’t steal a car”. Someone doctored a screenshot from the ad as a joke and now there are a whole bunch of people who think the ads actually said that.

You wouldn’t steal a handbag; you wouldn’t steal a car; …
You wouldn’t steal a baby…
