Drug companies largely use pathways discovered by academic research (which is much more trial and error) as targets for pharmaceuticals. "Steal" is a bit of a strong word, but they are okay with paying students and post-docs starvation wages. Essentially, it's privatizing profits and publicizing losses.
Nobody ask industry how much they crib (read: steal) from publically funded research.
They currently are.
