How do you explain identity theft?

The thief is not actually taking someone's identity away from them, just copying their data and using it for their own purposes without permission.

Identity theft has nothing to do with copyright. Besides, in many places, it is known as "identity fraud" for a reason.

I dunno, bro. Both involve data that doesn't belong to the person 'copying' it and lost revenue to the victim. Not to mention that anyone on the street would definitly call identity theft a form of stealing. It looks like both popular opinion and the evidence is against you.
