If it’s something I am not allowed to have, then yeah. I would.

If you hack into my computer and copy all my files you have 100% stolen my data. It would be insane to think otherwise.

The entire premise is permission.

In a nutshell: the word stealing is a vague umbrella term.

No, there’s literally definitions for it. You can look it up. All of them have some element of permission to it. It all boils down to taking something when you aren’t allowed.
