It's not a useless distinction though. One can argue that stealing is bad because when I steal your car, you don't have access to your car anymore. If I were to copy your car I wouldn't harm you.
That doesn't mean it's okay to illegally copy something, but comparing it to theft is unhelpful at best and misleading at worst.
