Depends on the context. Are you copying someone else's identity in order to make a passable clone? Are you trying to sell that clone?
A duplication of someone's voice, commercialized by an unauthorized source, is definitely a form of stealing.
Copying information illegally, such as private information held on a private device, is overwhelmingly illegal.
In general, copying information is only as legal as the purpose behind it.
