If we are going to use ridiculous definitions of stealing, I will have to point out that private, non-personal property - anything that you don't have direct personal possession and control over - is theft.

It's copyright infringement. It's not theft. Theft deprives an owner of use of an item.

TIL theft of labour is not real theft.
If it were, managers would be going to prison for wage theft and misclassifying workers.

Instead, it's treated as a civil issue, when it's pursued at all.
