This is growing increasingly off-topic, but there is another perspective
on this: Stealing is depriving someone of property which rightly belongs
to him. For example, the legitimate income from the fruits of his
labor. When you take for free that which someone creates and sells to
make a living, you are effectively stealing from him - not the software,
but the earnings.
