But you're just quibbling over word choice instead of actually engaging with the core of the moral argument I've made.

Either you can't see the moral argument, which leads me to believe you really are unable to see that piracy is theft. Or you simply don't want to see it and then I fall back to think this is motivated ignorance.

Your whole argument is quibling over word choice, wanting to call pirates thieves even though there are distinct differences.

And yet you still won't engage with the core argument about the immorality of violating the principle of reciprocity. I get it. You think I'm wrong. You have to either make an attempt to change my mind or simply stop replying.

If you don't care to engage with the idea then I don't care to continue.

Yes I think it's wrong, I'll agree with you on that. I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as stealing though.
