OK. Theft may come on a bit strong, but fact is fact. Websters dictionary says that stealing means, amongst other things, "To take without right or permission," or "To move, carry, or place surreptitiously." Downloading games illegaly falls under boyh these qualifications. Piracy however I dont agree with as a discription. Surley there must be a difference between downloading a game and hijacking ships on the open sea.
How is downloding a game illegaly any different than walking in the store and stealing it. Either way your taking something that isn't yours. If your going to pirate a game you might as well grow a pair and steal it from Fred Meyer yourself instead of hardworking developers.
