So then, by your logic, walking up to a record store, and sneaking out with a cd that you did not pay for, is not theft then.

That's clearly theft. The record store had a CD, and then you took it.

But what's that got to do with copyright infringement?

That's still stealing. If I break into your house, take your computer, and leave behind $1000 dollars, I have still completely stolen your computer regardless of how much it is worth.

It would be more like replicating the computer from outside the house using telephone lines. Leaving the original in your house, but having an identical one for their own.
