Never.

No.

It becomes piracy when you attack the ship carrying the book and steal
it physically by violence or threats of violence.

There can be different levels of law-breaking depending on whether you
are copying for private use, copying to sell, etc.  In particular, in
most jurisdictions (AFAIK), downloading an unlicensed copy of
copyrighted works is illegal but not a crime.  Selling it might make it
a crime.  And in some places, making it available for download is also a
crime, as can breaking encryption for the purposes of evading licensing.

But it is never theft, and never piracy.
