Just by claiming that something is art, doesnt give you the right do to it free and clear and somehow not have to pay the price.
Whats next? "oh, yes i beat him with a bat, but its art" "i killed him as ART!" Its 'artists' like this that make all other artists seem like crackpots and weirdos, people who throw paint at a wall and demand 5 grand for it.
It actually offends me that these sorts of people do this sort of thing and then scream 'its art' when people disagree, it just so happens that in this case he was also breaking the law. Just because you claim that something is art neither makes it art, nor okay for you to do as you please.

Of course its stealing, IF the person isn't knowingly sharing it.
This argument is a fallacy right from the start, and its almost offensive the way its phrased "Of course its not stealing!"
Its the same argument that pirating games and music isn't 'stealing' because you aren't depriving anyone of anything (and this is assuming that you aren't ruining someones speed, or their download limit). Just because there isn't a physical object to TAKE, doesn't mean it isn't stealing.
Its the same as stealing cable, and that's illegal. If you take or USE property belonging to someone else, without their consent, its theft. You might say that wireless is floating around in the ether, which is is, but its being operated by a machine, the wireless modem. At the very least you're stealing electricity.
Why is it any different than if you plugged your device into a cable and just used it that way? Just because there is nothing tying you to the theft (physically speaking), doesn't make it any less of a theft.
Sure, its only a 'little' theft, but theft is theft "it was only a little bit" is by no means an excuse to take something that someone else paid for (the download limit, the modem, the right to use and access the connection.
Whether its a big deal or not, is another question, but it is by no means NOT theft, in any way.
