Copyright violation is not theft. Your effort to create something that can be effortlessly copied conveys to you no property. Society deems it beneficial to grant a time limited monopoly on copying it to spur innovation.
You wouldn’t steal a car!

Stealing a car - or anything tangible - means... the owner is very literally deprived of the benefits of owning said car/thing. Can't really say the same for a copied pattern of bits.
Thats not what you said. You said "copy the license terms". Copying a license isn't the same as complying with one.
Though it looks like in this case they didn't do either.
So we're in violent agreement then?
Brutally violent agreement. kicks shin, shakes hand
