You make a copy of something of value, you don't steal it. It's still there afterwards

Agreed 100%. Original argument about taking something of value, if somone takes the source code, rebrands the original and re-releases the content for money, that would be stealing.

What are these people called? Not pirates for sure, Oh right they're called some big "media creator company"
