the economics of the net are that label bureaucracy is no longer in "demand." ...freedom is again crushing bureaucracy.

The product in question is not label bureacracy, it's the music, and that very much is in demand. But you want to steal it rather than pay for you.

If I want a new Mercedes, I should be free to just go on the lot and take it? According to your definition of "freedom" I suppose so. Freedom is choosing between product 'A' and product 'B', not stealing whichever you choose.

The analogy is this: You want a new Mercedes. You borrow a friend's Mercedes for a few days, run it through your transformigorator, out pops an exact duplicate, and you return your friend's car, just as you borrowed it.
