Jay, the goobers here all claim ignorance to the most obvious source of
music for burring: File sharing software. I'd bet a whole dollar that
most
of the folks saying "But it's illegal!" either are using, have used, or
have
a teenage in their house who currently uses this perfectly legal
software
for somewhat nefarious purposes.

It's illegal.


In a way it really does not seem to be that much differant than recording a
song you like off of the radio.

Music companies have been screwing me by charging
way too much for their music for a long time. It's about time there was
some competition (illegal or no) that will bring them back to reality.

Here's a thought: don't like the way music companies have been screwing
you
by charging way too much for their music? DON'T BUY THEIR MUSIC! Really,
it's that simple. Using your rationalization, anyone who feels that a
particular car is overpriced, or that a particular airplanes is
overpriced,
is perfectly well justified in stealing that car or airplane.


Stealing cars and airplanes is not the same as downloading music. When
somebody invents a matter relicator that can perfectly copy cars and
airplanes then you better believe people will be using it. When that
happens then downloading music that someone is generous enough to share will
be the same as "stealing that car or airplane".
