People are throwing around the term 'theft' as if it means using
something you don't 'own'; in he the UK at least the definition of
'theft' includes the term 'with the intention of permanently
depriving...'; thus there is no theft involved in copying a software
item for one's own use.

In legal terms you are perfectly entitled to do anything not
prohibited by law; morals don't come into it.
