It all depends.  It could be free for certain people/sites to distribute by permissions from the author, or it could just be free completely.

If it's by permission from certain places, then it is wrong.

For copyrighted material, it's wrong. Is people walking into your house and removing some of your wage money wrong? That's exactly what music sharing is. Taking something you didn't pay for.

Then again, if it's not copyrighted, then it belongs to everyone, so how can it be wrong?

Not strictly true, copyrighted means it was made by someone and owned by someone, but that person could copyright something then release it for everyone to get for nothing as long as the material is unaltered.
