I don't think your viewpoint is fit for dignified public discourse. It's theft. It's not a new, modern crime, with deep implications still being processed by moral intuitions, legislatures, and courts. When something becomes easy to steal, it doesn't become less of a theft.
It's not a new, modern crime
Everything related to copyright law is brand new and modern. It is not a natural right. It was created by consensus. That consensus can and will change.
No, it's not theft, and information is not property. At least there is no consensus on the matter.
