Nope.
Illegal - often. Wrong - sometimes. Stolen - never.
Because making a copy isn't stealing.
You might say that it seems like stealing to you - but it is not, legally, stealing, and it doesn't seem like stealing to me. Even when it's wrong (i.e. wrong in my view), it's still not stealng.
Let's take a practical example.
I have a paper book.
If I scan that, use OCR, get an electronic copy for my own use - stealing?
What if a friend did that and I use their e-copy - stealing?
What if someone on-line has done that, and I use their e-copy - stealing?
In all cases, the author has been paid when I bought my paper copy.
