Why is there so much negativity toward piracy?

No, it's not the same thing. When pirating, you don't take anything away from anybody. You just make a new copy. That's a rather big difference.

you are using something that doesn't belong to you. Whether making a new copy or not doesn't mean it isn't theft.

piracy is the use of something copy written without permission. In other words, stealing.

You just copied my text in that quote! Is that theft?
