You can determine if you're stealing music by assessing whether you're downloading, streaming, or sharing music files without proper authorization or payment. If the content is not provided for free by the artist or distributor, or if you're bypassing copyright protections, it's likely considered theft. Additionally, using unauthorized sites or services that distribute music without the consent of the copyright holder also constitutes stealing. Always check the terms of use and licensing agreements before accessing music.
Downloading music in itself is not a sin; however, if you download music that you are expected to pay for without paying for it, it is stealing, the same as stealing a CD of the music from a store.
yes
It Shouldn't
If you do not pay for commercial music you are stealing it and are liable to be prosecuted. It does not matter if you are stealing a CD from a store or a music file on the Internet.

That is called stealing. So just pay for it.
Copyright laws protects the artist in the music industry. They prevent others for stealing music and claiming it as their own.
Tell someone who is near you.
It is when a program or music is taken and used without buying it first. The creator of that music or software does not get the money for their work. It is stealing software or music.
It depends. If the owner of the music wants to give it away at no charge then downloading it is absolutely fine. If the music is being distributed free of charge by someone who is not the owner, then they have no right to offer the music. The owner of the music is the person or company who own the rights to the work. It might be the artist but more commonly it is a record company or publishing company. Although "theft" or "stealing" are not the right legal terms in most jurisdictions, at least morally, downloading music without the permission of the owner is stealing.
Yes it is. If you take something that is usually paid for but take it from someone you have no clue of without paying, yes it is stealing.
