Well, they just saw a file in your phone and were like “it’s a file, so this isn’t stealing because we’re duplicating the information”.

Only if it’s a file that’s already publicly available. When you buy a movie, why shouldn’t you be able to share it with others? I’m not saying that you should be able to hack a filmmaker’s computer and publish movies they’ve never released, though.
The scenario you described can’t happen to me anyway, because I only use Free Software. You can learn more about it here: piped.video/watch?v=Ag1AKIl_2GM

They never hacked your computer, you agreed to everything. So what’s the problem then? It’s just a file that can be shared.

But personal files are… personal?
Research journals are published. Public.

He’s clearly talking about piracy in general. The point being that just because something is a file, it doesn’t mean it isn’t intellectual property.
