It seems that the way I read the question had more to do with whether you think that xeroxing sheet music is _wrong_. I'm not so sure that the person posing this question wanted the answer to turn on the fact that a church was doing the copying in this hypothetical. Rather:
Copying sheet music is illegal---copyright problems. But should it be illegal? Is there something moral about copyright law? Is there some constitutive evil involved in the copying of other people's copyrighted material? I can't say I can see any such moral evil or wrong, but maybe I'm not looking at the issue correctly.
I'm afraid that I really can't see the harm in downloading music at all. Although, I can rarely be bothered---I like full albums and I'm too much of a dope to properly use usenet.
