I assume that this means that making a backup copy is "stealing", not
that buying the song in the first place is. Otherwise, the biggest
thieves in the equation would be the record companies and publishers.
Oh, wait a minute...

        "When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I

is] a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy'."
