To do so is, by law, theft.
I agree - but the world is a complex, ambiguous place and things are seldom clear - whether right or wrong...

Also, in terms of the law, I agree 100%, but not all theft is equal (and not all theft is ethically wrong - for example stealing medicine to save a life might be illegal, but I doubt many will argue it's "wrong").
