The crime you're referencing is false advertising, misrepresenting a product, etc. Theft has nothing to do with it. Especially since theft is defined as, and I quote "The illegal taking of another person's property without that person's freely-given consent."

In this instance, consent is given. Even if the product is sold under false pretenses (Which it isn't, as I will explain in a moment), it is impossible for theft to have occured.

Besides which, even without singing, the presence of a performer, on a stage, qualifies a lip synced concert as a 'performance'.

From Wikipedia: "A performance, in performing arts, generally comprises an event in which a performer or group of performers behave in a particular way for another group of people, the audience."

In this instance, the particular way the performer behaves is assumed to involve, but is not legally BOUND, to involve singing. If a concert is lip synced however, an artist is quite capable of demonstrating performance capability by dancing, gesturing, or simply working a crowd between songs. There is nothing misleading about a live performance that contains no singing or live instruments playing, if the artist defines performance via another creative expression. As such, there is nothing illegal about lip syncing.



TL;DR - You suck at interpreting the law.
