I am not going to defend copyright infringement, but theft is depriving someone of something they used to have and no longer have. If someone pirates a copy of your book that would have purchased it otherwise, then they have not taken anything away from you that you had.
Actually, "theft" is the act of unlawful taking by deceptive practices. And it's not just for tangible items either --- we've all experienced theft-of-services first-hand, I'm sure. With my web hosting company, it's a common occurrence for people to attempt theft-of-service through fraudulent activity, et cetera. -- Daniel P.
