Pirating songs is not stealing. It's copyright infringement.
If I go to the store, pick up a carton of milk with my right hand, and magically get a second carton of milk in my left hand, then walk out the store with the carton of milk in my left hand, leaving the original carton in the store, then I have not stolen anything. If that is stealing, then I can only conclude that stealing is (a)moral, and we need a different word for what I would consider to be stealing.
People don't magically get a copy of an artists song on the computer. They steal it.
Copying is not stealing. If you're of the opinion that that's stealing, then it is my opinion that stealing is OK.
