The difference between copyright infringement and piracy

Can someone please explain the difference between copyright infringement and piracy.

Piracy is just a word used by the creative industries to demonise copyright infringement. Generally, ‘pirate’ is used to describe people who copy some kind of media (game, film, book, album) without the appropriate license.

It's essentially a bit stupid. Ok, copyright infringement is illegal. It is **not** in any sense comparable to seafaring murderers and thieves.
