I find it disingenuous to pretend that it is anything
but stealing. It is the misappropriation of something that doesn't belong to you. Makes no difference whether it's digital or physical. "Stealing credit" would be another example of a nonphysical meaning.
I'm not talking about legal definitions, which may differ; I'm talking about ethics and morality. You take something that isn't yours. That's stealing.
