It is theft under common sense.

Only in the sense that you reading a book from the library also constitutes theft of knowledge. Does it?

  • If I stole someone's private research notes and republished them loosely in my own words, they'd correctly be pissed

    This was unpublished research that was stolen, and constitutes plagiarism and academic fraud by even the strictest definition

      It was not stolen, it was willingly given.
