I'm not really for or against, and "stealing" is a bit nebulous when it comes to content and copyright (I'm not a lawyer).

However, I think if FCC moved content from the service before alerting users then they went about it poorly - after all users are the heart and sole of FCC. From what I understand that is the heart of the issue - that peoples content was moved between services without their knowledge or consent.

Which, as Ben pointed out, is likely against the Terms of Service. Ben has clearly been understanding of why the move happened but is just concerned about the ramifications of how the move happened.
