The difference is in consent. You can gain ownership, permanent or temporary, for free if you have the consent of the original owner.

Taking someone's property without their consent, is theft, a violation of their property rights, and their natural right as a human being. It is in essence, slavery, since you're making someone slave away creating something, and then just taking it away. It's not an issue of compensation either. It's CONSENT.

Good post, sums it up perfectly.

I agree. Forget my post above, the definition of consent and theft is clearest difference.

well how about the difference between piracy and theft (theft = taking something from someone) (piracy = creating a copy of something that remains in possession of the owner)

they are different things, although both illegal.
