If I was listening to "pirate" radio then I would be listening to
stolen music but whether I could be considered to have stolen the
music myself is debatable.  :-)

I don't think this has changed but part of the cost of blank media
(cassettes and CDs) always went to the recording industry.  I'm pretty
sure this was to offset their losses to piracy.  As such, recording
from radio used to be, and probably is, legal.  However, I'm not a
lawyer and don't follow court cases so I can really say.
