It is not your right to download it without the permission of the owner. Just because you can doesn't make it right and to me I call that theft.

Agreed.
Also, you could argue that the electronic copy conveys additional functionality and usage (in the form of portability, reduced storage needs, ease of backing up, etc.) that are not present in the physical book so it could be said that in order to get those additional benefits you need to buy the electronic copy.
