YES IT IS !
ALL music and video content is protected by copyright laws ! Under those laws you are forbidden to 'copy, distribute or otherwise share the content without the owner's written permission.
Even copying a CD or DVD to your computer is actually illegal - whether that's just for your own use or not - you're still copying the content ! If you then copy music or video from your computer to (for example an MP3 or MP4 player) - you're guilty of distributing !
Having said that - I accept that kind of activity goes on all the time (even I copy music from my computer to my MP3 player to listen to while I'm walking). Technically it's still copyright theft. In theory - according to how copyright laws work - we should purchase a copy of the music etc for every device we want to use it on.
However - the authorities are more interested in those people who distribute large quantities of copied material - the 'pirates' who make distributing illegal copies an 'industry'.
I've yet to see a court case where 'Jane Bloggs' was arrested for copying Justin Bieber's music from her computer to her MP3 player !.... BUT - there have been a number of well-publicised cases where people have been caught making hundreds of copies of CD's, DVD's & videos.
