Taking things you don't have rights to is theft. It's really quite simple.

So then I was correct you think what the post office did was stealing, they apparently didn't have the right to use a photo of a memorial on public grounds. To you that's theft. Of course to the courts that was infringement and to me it's silly on several levels. I suggested reasonable people could disagree on something like that. You and HansTWN jumped on me, if you want a down and dirty argument on the subject I can provide one and I can do more than repeat the words stealing and theft over and over.
For example, taking a photo isn't the same as taking a monument any more than making a photocopy of an article is taking a magazine you seem to miss the point that nothing was taken let's try it like this, if you hook into a cable company's system to took their service, put stress on their network created a measurable loss. If you set up a satellite dish and make use of a signal that was just bouncing around the planet (receiving not transmitting) that's their loss, you didn't take anything from them, the dumbasses put the signal in the public airwaves. Both parties will call you a thief but you only had an impact on one of them.
Don't you find it odd that other people understand the difference between theft and infringement? How about robbery and embezzlement?
