By definition since the original is not taken it can't be stealing.

Even if the case of stealing services, like bandwidth, or cable you take way from the functional capacity of the infrastructure.

Tap a cable line and the split single cause greater degradation of the single on primary line

Use up someones bandwidth and they have less maximum bandwidth to use.

Copyright infringement doesn't reduce the source at all. It is a fraud at best
claiming you have a right to the content when you don't. But that also leaves a lot of things that are legal, like when you are granted a right by fair use
or when you are granted a right because the copyright holder put a clause in their contract allows it to be distributed via torrents with a private tracker (see amacontent).
