Exactly. You have no problem with stealing other people's inventions, which was one of the main things copyright law was intended to protect. This shows that you don't respect other people's hard work. You think, that it doesn't matter if somebody spent 30 years on a new invention, you have the right to steal their technology regardless. Same goes for a book that somebody took 5 years of sweat, blood, and tears to write. Or even a videogame. 

No, stealing would be taking the IP and releasing it myself to make money on it. That would be stealing. Taking an infinitely replicable code is not stealing if I wasnt going to shell out the money for it anyway.

No dictionary on the planet agrees with you. You are redefining the word to suit your own opinion, instead of letting the factual definition of the word stand for itself.
