The only response you've given is "that's not harmful", which is in no way an argument for why it isn't. It's not totally inconceivable that taking things, even data, without permission can be harmful and to claim otherwise seems willfully stupid and in this case self serving.
I feel like many people would disagree with you.
I'll take your approach. No, that's not what "taking something" means, because clearly the definition they're using for that is more inclusive.
