I never understood how copying something can be theft ?
I mean if you copy something the original is still there, so it is definitely not stolen.
On the other hand I always tried to copy material things like my car or my home for others, but I unfortunately never succeeded ;D

Think of it this way - you stole the idea, or possible proceeds. You are using something without compensation or approval from the creator. That is theft.

Yeah thats true - if you totally ignore that the creator put hard work in his work. That means you steal his "amount of work he done". So you give actually a shit about the creators rights / his person. Its like youre heavily insulting someone for the (good) work he had done and pay not any respect. Well its totally ok if youre inspired by someone else work and doin your own stuff - thats something completly different.
