NO it is not stealing. You can repeat that forever and a day, but you're wrong.
Stealing - deprivation of an item
Copying - the reproduction of an item
It's not a hard concept to grasp. They're two different acts. But I fear I may as well be trying to throw a javelin made out of custard when it comes to any kind of logical (not emotional) debate with you. I'll just leave you and the rest of the head-in-the-sanders as lost causes, quaint antiques of a time gone by. The argument is over for most people. Copying does not mean theft, sharing does not equate to a capital crime punishable by lethal injection, your morals and ethics are no longer relevant.
