This argument is easily refuted. Theft and copyright infringement are
legally different (IANAL though). If you want to make a moral
argument, you will have to justify the business practices of the
software industry. Good luck.

For the record, copyright infringement is illegal and I don't
encourage anyone to break the law.

I'm using a Mozilla Web browser to type this message. Its programmers
offer it as a free download. Since I didn't pay for it, am I thief by
your reasoning?
