How does the famous story in the gemorah of Hillel fit in here? When Hillel couldn’t afford the admission price to the shiur he usually attended, he went on the roof to listen in — without paying and without permission (that time).

If “intellectual property” has any basis in halacha, wouldn’t Hillel have been “stealing”?
