They call it stealing because the real legal term is unlawful copying or reproducing without copyright permits, and that sounds closer to a misdemeanor.

If we claim someone has stolen thousands of songs causing millions of dolars in damages it does look like a felony, and that is the way they've chosen to scare us.
