So you narrowly redefine theft to not include intellectual property or any non-physical good.
IANAL - but I don't think this would fly in any jurisdiction anywhere. Is this definition specific to a country whose laws I'm not familiar with?

Theft in law generally only applies to tangible personal property, not intangible personally property and not real property. That's not a redefinition, just the long-existigng definition.
I never said that copyright infringement or copying and publishing personal data is OK morally or legally. I just said that they are different crimes.
