No, it's not. Moral issues aside, when you download music without paying, you're making a copy, with no loss to the owner of the music. When you break into a record store and take a CD, the store owner has one copy less of the album, which cost him money to stock, etc. etc.
It's rather like going into a public library, taking pictures of every page of a book, and then leaving. (Except that you don't get a perfect copy of the book, but close enough.)
