So, theft is theft, but copyright infringement is a matter of degree?

Regarding code having no commercial value, I cannot recall hearing about
a software product that became valueless because of copyright infringement.
Or a company going under because of it.

What about reported losses due to software "piracy"?

IIRC, the recording industry in the USA reported staggering figures of
0.1% of units are illegal copies.
