	Although I am not condoning software piracy, I think it would be more
fair to say that you are not stealing in the sense of stealing a car which
would take the car away from someone else, but you would be in effect making
a copy of the car.  If you were literally stealing the software in the sense
that you steal cars, you would need to take the original off the shelf, stuff
it into your pocket and walk out of the store.  But I don't think most software
pirates use that method.
