Also Technic is to easily load a mod pack without having to download each mod, if you think this constitutes stealing please learn the meaning.
MultiMC is an easy to load launcher that lets you pick and chose precisely which mods you want to play with, rather than getting stuck with a pack. And oh no, you have to go to the mod author's website, spend twenty seconds downloading the mod (once per version, save it to your computer) which is a financial contribution to the mod author at no cost to you. How ever shall you live? Perish the thought of actually supporting the mod authors rather than the guys who jack someone else's code, package it all pretty, bork up the code in the process, and insult the mod authors
Pretty sure they got permission for each mod.
Pretty sure they don't.

Krapht (Logistics Pipes and current maintainer of Buildcraft), Alkabaine (IC2), Elloram (RP2) have all spoken out against Technic. Yet their mods remain. The only reason SirSengir (Forestry) isn't in there anymore is that he got fed up with it and coded his mod to explicitly not work with the Technic launcher, so they finally removed it.

They gain financially from someone else's work. Sounds like stealing to me.
