I don't know of any cases. But I know that my state's theft statute explicitly covers "transferring or reproducing:
(A) recorded sounds; or
(B) a live performance;
without consent of the owner of the master recording or the live performance, with intent to distribute the reproductions for a profit."
And more generally covers exerting unauthorized control over the property of another with the intent to deprive them of any part of its value or use.
