You're technically correct. I'm speaking conceptually, though. You are taking something you haven't bought: the right to enjoy the artist's output. Taking something that does not belong to you is theft, by definition.

Are you free to do as you wish with someone else's property?

ETA: not saying you yourself are doing that, it's the generic "you".
