I tell kids these days they are totally in one of those YAF novels where the teachers and ministers and testers (and even parents) are all in on the plot to force you through a doughboy program that turns you into an interchangeable, disposable, replaceable soldier or laborer to be exploited and discarded in some billionaire's vanity project, all the while the world is covered in plastic residue and is liberally burning.
IP maximalist indoctrination feels entirely on par, especially considering how disengagement is a far greater threat to media industries than piracy.
Incidentally, IP infringement, including copyright infringement is never theft. Cheating creators and developers of a fair share of the profits, however, is theft.
