It's technically stealing, but two nuances need to be made:
1) It's possible the product is not available in your country and ordering it is impossible/too expensive. In this case, you would not buy the product anyway, so downloading it does not constitute theft, as the author would not have been paid regardless.
2) A book you can get at your library is just as much stealing as downloading it is, IF it's available in libraries to begin with.
It's stealing none the less in the eyes of the law though.
