It certainly is ok, if you are not stealing it. A lot of music is available legally for free online. Many will disagree or think this answer is too picky. The truth is that copyright is one of the least understood and most ignored branches of law. Because you can find a way to take music for free online, that does not mean that it is ok to do it. Music is intellectual property, and that property is owned by someone or some group. In this sense it is much like a novel. There is a presumption that a writer wants to gain whatever benefit can be gained by having produced the work. Every time you take music that cannot be taken legally, you are stealing from the people who have every right to gain from their work. Copyright law is extremely complicated, especially regarding intellectual property. There are many different kinds of rights for a single piece of music, and the rights might be owned/handled by several different individuals or companies.

Ask yourself: Would you walk into a store and walk out with a shirt or small electronic device without paying for it? [I hope your answer is NO!] Does the fact that you might get away with it make it ok? Clearly, obviously, not.
