Do you work for the RIAA? No it is not theft. No it is not theft of labor. Stop calling it things that it isn't.
The hair is being split!
At the end of the day, the effort someone put into the creation of something isn't being rewarded with the intended monetary incentive to cover expenses incurred and offer incentive to continue creating something. This happens to authors as well when their books are duplicated and shared without the purchase costs being paid for by each individual in order to obtain the right to read something.
It doesn't matter what you call it. Arguing that point doesn't make it more legal to do it.
