No, for intellectual property the word "stolen" is not appropriate.

(Well, unless you're talking about getting the courts to tell the original owner it's yours instead. Which has been at least attempted a few times.)

It is semantically appropriate for the word steal. I think you're confusing it with the criminal implications.
