Thus, copyright infringement is not stealing.

if you steal a file, it depends what is in that file as to who you are stealing it from. You could be stealing it from both the owner and the creator who could be the same person or different people. An ebook is very much a physical entity. It has substance. It is every bit as real as a pbook, just in a different form.
