Sounds like stealing music to me..

I figured I'd get blasted for this after I post. The thing is, the share feature is incorporated into iTunes and lets you listen to other peoples music. I want to download their music so I can put it on my iPod. I'm still only listening to it and not selling it or making money off it.. I dunno.

That's still stealing music. They buy it. You take it for yourself. Stealing? Yes.
 
Steal: To take (the property of another) without right or permission.

When you copy something, you're not taking it. The original is still there.

Steal: to take or appropriate without right or leave and with intent to keep or make use of wrongfully

This would include property, services, etc. By copying songs (software, bandwidth, comic material, etc.), you are essentially taking money that rightfully belongs to the owner of that material, who should have received some sort of royalty payment for the transaction.
