Darn Good Question

I don't accept that the music was illegally taken from the artist in the first place. Not to mention all of the cost put into producing the music itself and putting it into some sort of media. Employee's livelihoods depend on this. I think the point in question is more complex. But the question posed is still interesting, especially if we simplify it. If your neighbor simply steals a garden gnome can you steal it and keep it. The answer is no, you should return it to its rightful owner. So if you download or rip music illegally at a bare minimum I could argue unless you send a check for $14.95 directly to the artist you are still stealing.
