Theft is theft. You mean wrong from ethical or law point of view?
If you talk of punishment, then it’s from law point of view so there is no difference.
Ethically, well, that depends, if you hurt the bottom line of a billionaire or if you get a store damage that reflects on the lower employees, like repaying the theft value.
IMHO.
Stealing from a megacorp is a net positive action. By weakening the megacorp you benefit humanity.
Doesn’t make it any less illegal, but in a moral sense it is a good thing.
Not stealing from anyone is a cornerstone of many moral and ethical systems for a reason, but morally, it’s far more excusable to steal from a corporation that steals from its employees and pays less taxes (percentage wise) than you do.
Never steal from working folks. They might make a little more than you do, but stealing from them means you’re taking food out of their children’s mouths, or at least taking money out of their children’s college funds. Don’t do it.
Some corporations are so predatory that it’s a moral good to harm them in any way we can, including theft.
It’s downright laudable to “steal” from major corpos. Whether it’s ethical to steal from a mom and pop shop is an “it depends” kind of situation. (I definitely know of small local businesses in my area that are run by absolute shit-bags.) And punishment isn’t the right way for society to deal with antisocial behaviors among its inhabitants. (Not that stealing (particularly by a pro-capitalist’s definition) is necessarily “antisocial”.)
It is wrong to steal.
Morality exists so that a society may function theft is thus a breakdown of said society.
Then again morality itself is a social construct. This no such thing as morality or ethics or right or wrong or laws their are simply actions and consequences. A functional society will have sufficient consequences to ensure that the society can continue to function.
For a functional society both should be punished sufficiently harshly to ensure that its not something anyone does. For example if theft of $1 worth of goods resulted in a death penalty nobody would steal anything and u wouldn’t need to lock anything up. You could have phones in a tech store just sitting there without being locked down with the cable thing cos nobody would dare steal it.
