Think back to the moment you learned that copying was considered theft

Well copying is very broad.. Plagiarism's treatment as being both technically and morally wrong imo always makes sense. Plagiarism goes beyond copyright infringement though, since infringement only requires "use" of the material whereas plagiarism is passing it off as your own.
