What was wrong with the word "stealing" in this context?

[RyanMcGreal]

Copying != stealing. If I steal something from you, you don't have it any more. If I copy something you have, we both have a copy.

Also, even if one were to accept copying as stealing, it wouldn't work in this context since Aaron Swartz had legitimate access to JSTOR through Harvard.
