In the eyes of law, yes. Law is imperfect. I meant morally. I hate that some of you generalize piracy to just stealing. Of course what Mac said is right (the first part), but pirating something does not necessarily mean somebody didn't pay for it or doesn't intend to pay for it. I remember an article of two saying that pirates tend to buy more music than people who never pirate. I don't know the credibility of that study, but there are definitely people who are morally correct and willing to support the artists/creators they like, and it's hurtful and unjust to put them in the same bag with douches who simply choose not to pay for something they can pay for.
What I mean is I couldn't honestly call a person in the previous-post-example a thief.
