It's quite literally IP theft, not just copyright infringement.


Your jurisdiction may have a law called "IP theft" or it may not, either way the moral category of "theft" does nor apply.

(Also, if it was theft this particular example would be theft in the same way that taking a book from someone's recycling bin would be theft: no one is worse off)
