Is it theft to hum a TV theme tune in the street or remember a good
joke from a TV program and tell it to someone who doesn't have a
license? :)

These particular laws are artificial constructs: just a way of
ensuring (enforcing) a revenue stream. They're largely accepted,
albeit begrudgingly, by most in our society. Individuals can choose
whether they want to participate but the assumption is that everyone
does and it is tough to opt out. Breaking these laws harms nobody. On
a small scale anyhow - on a large scale, who knows? Let's try it! :)
