Copying it and distributing it to "more people" deprives the publisher of

Sounds like "theft" to me.


That assumes that the people it was illegally distributed too would
otherwise have bought it legitimately - very often not the case.

Taking the case of music, some artists are more pragmatic about this
than others. Yes, they'll lose some royalties to piracy, but OTOH far
more people will be made aware of their material, and they might well
like it enough to buy it legitimately the next time, and/or attend a
concert.

That makes it even more a case of theft then! If they didn't want the
'work' why have they made a unauthorised copy?...
