kfb,
You mean stealing halachicly? Because by US laws they aren’t doing anything wrong.
Also, even halachicly I don’t think its called stealing but…
Can’t rely in money of others.
If you put yourself into situation where you have to accept money from others then there will be a time when you will actually need it, meaning you’ll be poor.
If you learn and don’t work you’ll end up stealing (and I think forgetting your learning).
But if anyone has an opportunity to learn they for sure should take it or help someone else who is more capable.
