There is nothing in the article that even remotely "justifies" theft -- or even discusses the propriety of making copies of copyrighted material without a licence. In some circumstances, such action is clearly infringement -- even criminal infringement that can and should be prosecuted. Not all copies are infringing uses, and not all copies are "thefts." The article discusses the propriety of tactics to trick people, deceive them and defraud them -- not the copyright laws themselves.
