As a book author, I can say that, "Yes, something was stolen. My opportunity to earn a living taking care of readers."

Now you may believe the incredibly self-serving baloney from big companies like Google. You may want to pretend that infringement isn't theft. To you, I hope that some homeless kid breaks into your home, starts squatting, and says that, "Hey, this isn't theft. Nothing has been destroyed."

cool thing about information is when you make a copy, you've doubled the information - plenty for everyone! if only housing worked the same way

As a book author, what's your feeling on libraries, out of curiosity?
