Radio is a poor example for obvious reasons – one of which, artists are, even if indirectly, compensated for radio broadcasts.

Reading a book or singing a song, aloud, is, to my knowledge – perfectly legal.

Accessing a site such as Limewire to circumvent paying for a book or a song or a movie that is otherwise only available commercially is what it is – theft.
