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.

Uh...., Copyright infringement is a very specific type of theft. Call a "spade
a spade" lets not mince words here.
