How is it not theft, because it's digital? That's dumb. If you take a product, physical or otherwise, without paying for it that's theft.

I think part of the essence of theft is that it's not available to the person you stole it from anymore. With pirating you don't remove anyone's ownership of something. You could say you're stealing from potential sales, but I think that's only if you distribute the digital item.
