The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you’ve already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

Plagiarism involves an extra act of deceit. You’re passing off someone else’s work as your own. It appears most people find this immoral.

Also, copyright is a monopoly on the publication of the work - piracy as it’s commonly used wouldn’t even be considered infringement.
