Is stealing from thieves different from stealing from honest people? In the words of Futurama's Lrrr, "Yes; but not by enough."
The companies in the recording industry are unabashed crooks. That they steal artists' rights in legal ways is completely irrelevant.
But their status as weasels doesn't excuse those who steal music. Unless it's an act of civil disobedience, stealing music is wrong.
Record company executives: change, or go to Hell. You are thieves.
Musicians: license with Creative Commons. Record companies are obsolete.
