Yes. Copyright still exists regardless of how the content is obtained.

I can hand you a disk full of my source code, but unless I give you permission to reproduce it it'd still be illegal to reproduce.

Otherwise all the property rights of anyone can be nullified just by one person with access to it, clearly that's impossible in our legal framework.
