Yes they are different, but no they are not entirely separate. Copyright
defines that an intellectual work, such as book, movie, etc. belongs to the
person named in the copyright. The Copyright gives the owner the exclusive
rights to do what they want with the work, or give permission to others to
do certain things with the work.

By breaking that copyright law you are Stealing the work from the copyright
owner. Not only are you stealing the work but the money that the owner
would have gotten had you decided to obey the law and purchase the product.
(Stealing, for those idiots like Bob, is theft.)

PS. If you wish to educate yourself, the rights of the owner to the work
are defined beginning in Section 107 of the 1976 Copyright Act, there are
also some exemptions listed in Section 107. Oh yea, Bob, my mother works
for copyright lawyers so I'm not "dull" enough to understand the difference.
