Steal is a little harsh. There is nothing wrong with sharing and/or collaborating. Stealing would be taking without permission. Just looking to see if anyone has the information they are willing to share.
I don't think that's harsh. The author of that report spent his own money to generate the results and as a condition of having access to those results, the purchaser agrees to pay him a small fee and to not disclose the information to other individuals.
So, by asking if someone has the information they are willing to share, you're asking if someone is willing to not only allow you to steal the information without paying the meager fee asked for it, but also to make them an accomplice in the act.
You're trying to get the information without paying for it. How is that "not taking without permission"?
