The industry's answer is yes, but again let's take a closer look. That is, theft is fundamentally subtractive. Because the disks are copied, not purloined, the software manufacturer suffers no physical removal of property. The only thing that software publishers can claim to have lost is the opportunity for profit. The answer - there isn't any.
Software piracy is a good thing, and good for business too.
The industry's hired watchdogs should chill out, and spend their time worrying about real problems, like making software perform as advertised. In fact, if the industry really wants to help sales, it should take some of the money that goes into piracy propaganda, and hire more tech support people. USRobotics blames this on FCC regulations, actually the problem is the modem sends too much voltage thru the phone line, limiting speed to 53k. The 30X speed is only attained when the CD has data written all the way to the edges of the disk. Once the outer edge data is read the CD drive slows to half speed.
