If someone breaks the protection on a SACD and rip the content to hard disk. It is the same as stealing.

So much nonsense. Stealing would deprive the owner of the use of the disk. It is a criminal violation. Copying your own disk does not fit that description.

If you must, copying for one's own use of something he "owns" is at most a violation of the copyright license. It is a civil issue, not a criminal one like stealing. I'm not dealing with morality here. As for morality, to each his or her own. Last time I looked no one was ever sued for copying his SACD. I have no problem with copying any disk I own.

Nor does Stereophile evidently, which published the details of exactly how to rip SACDs, and they were late in the game. It had been done before for years.

    Using one of these things is a sign of our weakened intellectual times. But if you must:
    
    AI Overview
    
    The legal definition of stealing is the act of taking someone's property without their permission and with the intent to deprive them of its use. This is also known as larceny.
    The FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines larceny-theft as:
    The unlawful taking, carrying, leading, or riding away of property
    Examples include shoplifting, pocket-picking, and thefts of bicycles or motor vehicle parts and accessories
    ----------------------
    Copying an SACD is at most a license violation, a civil and not a criminal matter. Stealing, or larceny, is a criminal act.

CD doesn't have the protection. In US, the law makers also say if you are the owner of a CD, you can rip and copy it for reasonable personal use. Meaning, if you have a scratched CD, you can copy it to a CDR and try to recover it. You can rip it to your cell phone for beach music or use it in your car.
