"Copying isn't stealing."
deleted
No, even then it isn't. It's not stealing. There is literally a whole different body of law defining stealing versus the body of law that defines copyright and intellectual property. The data is still exactly where it was to begin with, therefore it hasn't been stolen.
I wish people would stop using wildly inaccurate loaded terminology in these discussions simply to score emotional points.
