Using the first entry for steal on the English wiktionary:

To take illegally, or without the owner’s permission, something owned by someone else without intending to return it.

So, if you can’t actually own stuff, you can’t (by definition) steal it.

I get your point, and this more of an ^AcKsHuALly type of argument, but it’s an fun way of begging the question of what “I own this” means in today’s society.
