You are trying to spin it. Making an illegal copy is not stealing, it is a transgression of copyright law, which is a intellectual construction. What if one were to ensure that only one shared copy of a given purchased copy could be played at a time? Wouldn't that be a legitimate use?

Good thing languages are not currently copyrightable isn't it?

You are correct, but downloading an illegal copy is stealing.

Do you remember the Napster case?
