  • No, taking something without paying is theft. Piracy has many definitions, but none of them that simple.

    -Robbery or other serious acts of violence committed at sea.
    -The hijacking of an airplane.
    -Copyright or patent infringement.
    -The illegal interception or use of radio or television signals.
    -An instance of piracy.
    -In geology, that process whereby, because of a higher natural gradient, and therefore more efficient eroding power, one stream cuts back a divide and taps off the head-waters or a tributary of another stream. The captured stream usually turns a sharp angle into its new course and leaves a wind-gap where it formerly flowed. Also called stream-piracy.
    -Robbery upon the sea; robbery by pirates; the practice of robbing on the high seas.
    -Literary theft; any unauthorized appropriation of the mental or artistic conceptions or productions of another; specifically, an infringement of the law of copyright.

They choose not to exercise it, which leaves two options, indifference, or support, of these implementations.
