I so wish people would stop throwing out these completely wrong and deliberatly misleading examples.

If you copy someones property, you have a copy and so do they.
If you steal someones property, you now have it and they don't.

Copyright infringement (violating licence terms) is a completely different and distinct thing from theft (unlawfully taking something).

Of course, IANAL, blah blah blah...
