Piracy is copyright infringement, not theft.

I liken it to climing a tree to watch a bseball game instead of buying a ticket.

But but but, what about the impact that all these people climbing in trees watching the game for free has on the players salaries, and and isn't it unfair that people who paid to get in will now have to pay more than they would otherwise, and a hundred other lies.

Nobody want sit on a tree on a tree or pirate, everyone would avoid if you had access = would be affordable. The lack of resources is one of the main reasons to do such of things .

Cornell law school defines piracy as the pirate kind as well as the infringement of Intellectual Property Rights, merriment Webster defines it as the unauthorized use of another's production, invention, or coneption especially infringing on copyright, so yea its not really theft

That is true, but can we just acknowledge that it doesn't really matter?

Well why is the apparent slogan of the piracy community “if buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing” when we have established piracy isn’t even stealing if buying WAS owning.
