No, I agree with you, if I don't buy an album and download it and listen to it, it's (morally if not legally) like stealing.Depends on the law in your country. For me, the fee for the album includes the license fee for listening to these songs. At the same time, I am prohibited by law from distributing this songs. Ie. when buying an album, I can download it from e.g. Google Drive but not from Torrent.
For me piracy is not stealing, it's just using someone work without permission - same like going to the cinema without ticket.
But what if I can't rip my own CD (because I don't have a CD drive on my computer, as most today's computers don't), and I want to listen to it in my car.
If I download it from torrent, is it stealing?
