But I hardly consider my children theives just because they did it a few times. Like just taking a few peanuts or grapes from the produce section isn't "really" stealing?

True, but the penalties for copyright infringment are so draconian, they might as well include execution.

The riaa suing DOWNLOADERS of music on Kazaa is like starbucks suing someone who comes in, smells the brewing coffee and then leaves without paying.

Sure it is, but again I say this is different. There is/was no line for uploading material until they came out recently and said this is against the law and we will prosecute. Yes I know there had been rumblings about when Napster went down, but it wasn't a clear case of stealing in my opinion.
