if you buy a dress, wear it at a party, and return it in perfect condition is it theft?
Morally, no, because no goods or services are retained for your dollar paid because in both cases the goods were returned. However, according to the letter of the law, they are both theft because the intent was to defraud the market (or library).
Even though you did not "pay" for the book on tape, you went against the written law by digitally copying the material.
