I agree with you there. Context is what makes it theft and using the stolen data to attempt to directly compete with the source is where the actual harm occurs.
In a scenario where the source of the data is not being harmed, it’s hard to think of it as theft (data/information wants to be free).

they might claim they’re harmed if the information is distributed for free. I don’t care. that’s not theft.
