And neither can you, or publisher lawyers, which is why it’s called piracy and not stealing in the first place.
The publishers lost the fight to call it theft or stealing, as to use those terms is slander and libel due to how inaccurate they are.
So even legally, you’re wrong to say it’s stealing or theft, especially when your only evidence is your own vague assumption that the creator lost money (they didn’t) using your own presumed and deluded “quantified” cost of the piracy (not theft, or lawyers would call it that)
