What is theft / larceny if not an abstract definition of ownership? How does theft work in cultures where ownership doesn't exist?

Isn't ownership a government-granted privilege as well then?

So if piracy is simply the act of ignoring sovereign privilege in open water (sea, space, internet), then I think the only contention one could make that piracy != theft is by asserting that piracy is not only theft.
