At the very worst it may be a form of copyright infringement, but it certainly isn't theft or "stealing".
Also, copyright legislation is in serious need of reform. Copyright was supposed to last 50 years, yet at the moment it is possible for copyrights to last for close to 200 years which is plain ridiculous. No one should be allowed to reap profit from a copyrighted work for longer than 50 years. No one needs to reap profits for 50 years.
Let's give an example - Michael Jackson died in 2009. So all his music will be copyrighted to his estate until 2084! What should happen is all the music he made should come out of copyright 50 years after the first publication date. So "Thriller" should come out of copyright in 2032, that's how copyright was originally conceived.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
