@Crashdown, while I like your line of thinking, that is easily refuted as it actually directly affects and harms the original person's credit.

Their argument is that copying the content does no harm.

Either way both are theft as you're taking something you have no consent to have.

Apparently, rape is theft, kidnapping is theft, telling a child that there is no Santa is theft (take away the belief), you getting my phone number behind my back is theft, and taking back your own posession from thieves is theft. 

First: Absolutely yes on the rape and kidnapping. Ask a rape or kidnapping victim.
Second: Santa is real and Jesus is magic, don't try to take that away from me!
Third: Weird analogy about the phone number, but I'm pretty sure phone numbers are public domain.
Fourth: On the theives, no. You have a consent to take it back because it is your item. You are the only one who can give consent to take it.
