Yes, but you can't run a diamond through a photocopier and get the equivalent. [bear in mind I am being philosophical] it isn't an object you are stealing. But you are getting the benefit of someone else's work without paying but you have not relieved them of that work. So I think I agree with Xaccers, copyright infringement is a more accurate description.
