I hate to break it to you , but downloading music is 'not' stealing ,
regardless of what spin they put on it. No one has ever been charged with
theft by the RIAA. What it is , is copyright infringement, and that is what
people 'are' being charged with.

Sorry Jim, we live in a free market economy. If you don't want to buy

because
the price is too high in your estimation, that's your choice. But you

cannot
justify stealing because you think they charge too much. I suppose you

would
only mark your products up 10% before selling, If you had anything someone

else
would want. So if you don't like a price in the store I guess you would

steal
that also. Or if you though they charged you too much last time you can

steal
it this time. With irrational thinking like that its no wonder our country

is
going to hell in a hand basket.
