While this is not an unreasonable way one could define "piracy", surely you must be aware that your definition is significantly more expansive than the one in common use?

What's the difference? Unless you take the common use of the term to mean peer to peer file sharing, which clearly isn't expansive enough (see pirate DVDs, pirate sports streaming, etc), then I'm not quite sure how it is a bad fit?

The common use means violation of copyright, specifically distribution rights.

Payment is not a good indicator. Tons of free content has no payment, and a good chunk of pirate content is paid for.
