A more accurate analogy would be self grown food for free. Data multiplication isn't the same as robbery.

Sure it is. The company put the hard work into creating something and you take a copy of it without paying. It's no different than if you photocopied a book or took a video camera into a movie theater, you have no right to that data regardless of whether the original remains untouched. Taking something that doesn't belong to you is the definition of stealing.

... but you're literally not taking anything in any of those examples.
