I don't think it's the same as downloading music because the music is released with rules that say "it will cost you this much to purchase a copy of it." The fact I'm going out and seeking the music out I want to download, instead of having, say, the industry that produced the record mass mail a whole bunch of people with a url to a download link for the track on their server, makes it completely different to what I was talking about (I've got a gut feeling though you might've been referring to something else with the downloading of stuff though...)
I would think that "legally" since the picture was sent to me, it's not stealing at all. If that were illegal then if police raided every single person who uses msn's computers and found the messengercache folder, bang they've broken the law.
