Maybe YOU would. but I think most people wouldn't. Besides, (although as Secret said, copyright infringement isn't defined as stealing yet) if you want to use the laptop analogy for music, one person is offering you someone ELSE's laptop.
Personally, if I encountered someone in a parking lot who offered me a car, or a laptop, or jewelry for free, I'd be wary.
