The idea is still very much there, its still inside the book, the idea hasn't been removed at all, its been copied. This is like saying that if I read a book from the library I'm stealing it (from whatever bookstore I normally go to) because I should have gone and bought the book to get the idea. Or saying that reading bits of a book in a store are theft (you're removing parts of the idea), god forbid you have a photographic memory and flip through an entire book because you've just stolen the entire thing. I'm not really sure I want to start holding people with photographic memories flipping through books as being guilty of a crime the average person doing the same thing isn't, and thats where that line of thought taken to extremes leads.Edit: Corrected an Italics tag.Edit: And if you want to say a library won't have the book during release how about I borrow the book from a friend and read it ?Edit3: Last is  changed to an isn't so it makes sense now.</blockquote>
