@Bookcat. It is quite simply not stealing. Your argument is for moral equivalence, not that legal equivalence exists. You will find that logic and morality are more often than not poor tools for determining what the law is. The copier in this case has breached the copyright of the copyright holder by making copies. They have also breached the terms under which they borrowed from the library owner by making copies. They have not stolen anything so far as the law is concerned.
