:Larceny :
The unlawful taking and removing of another's personal property with the intent of permanently depriving the owner; theft.
That being said. If I were to use, umm... Limewire or some other p2p client to download a song, it wouldnt be stealing, larcent, theft, etc. File sharers do just that, share files. Nothing is stolen. PERIOD. For those calling it stealing, look up theft, stealing, larceny, etc. in a dictionary please. Better yet, look up your states laws on larceny.
Care to continue the story and not only tell part of it? What about YOUR intent? It DID hurt the music industry because instead of giving them the $$ for the song, you got a viable copy for free, no money, and no compensation for your COPY of the song to the owner.
