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.

Yeah you are. We live in a digital age, just because you're not taking something physically, doesn't mean it's not stealing. Using your example, that would mean that hackers that take money from people's accounts aren't stealing.
