You cannot steal software. You can only steal physical objects. You
can, however, make an unauthorized copy. This would be illegal in most
countries.

You can do deeds today, that are perfectly legal, but which are unethical.

For an explanation on why the Free Software Movement finds non-free
(or closed source) software unethical see
