Is copywrite infringement theft?

Yes. There are is a sizable amount of latitude within copyright law for fair-use. The problem here is that the material was fraudulently obtained from the get go.
The one problem that I do see with copyright law is established judicial precendt with regard to defense of copyrighted material. If copyright holders do not pursue legal action for known infringements, they risk it falling to public domain.
Do you think we should do away with copyright law altogether or are you just unhappy with copyright holder demographics?
