what is considered stealing?

[still learning]

i work in the movies. i rip tickets. so you cant get passed me without showing my your ticket. but sometimes a co-worker will say "let the person in the red jersey in" (like dont ask for his ticket)

is this haram??

its really hard for me to say no because i am new there and dont really know any one.

also is like renting a movie from blockbuster then buring your self a copy haram?
how about downloading it form the internet for free?
same with music. i know we all donwload free music but is it haram? and is it considering stealing in the holy Quran?

If the material is copyrighted, then what would you call copying it without paying for (or at least receiving) permission to copy it?

Answering that question, might help you with several of those that you have asked.
