Any video posted has a copyright. In some cases the people posting them are more than happy to have them shared. Others wish to retain full control over who can use the videos. If the video posted is not done with permission, it may be violating copyright, in which case it would be illegal to download it.

Stealing is, by definition, illegal.

To steal is to take property belonging to someone else without the owners permission.

That property may be physical or intellectual.
