Not really. swipe a thumbdrive, get into someone's poorly protected system at school, a good buddy lets you copy his stuff just for your use, etc etc. Hell, some of the stuff I've heard about could only have been recovered from an old hard drive, probably sent in with a computer to be fixed, and instead it was mined.

That being said, the 'damages' being flaunted about are -highly- inflated. They lump any and all together, and throw the highest loss numbers that can be metadata-ed  together to make it seem far worse than it actually is. It is a problem, but nowhere near what's claimed.
