No.
That is not true.
The definition of theft is to remove something from its rightful owner.
Copying does not remove the original from existence.
Besides; copyright is a privilege and not a property !
Privileges can be taken away by the ones who granted them in the first place and that would be perfectly legal.
These privileges has become perverse compared to the original.
It was 14 years from publication and it was designed originally to protect artists /authors from unscrupulous publishers and not against the public , who through governments granted the privileges.
