and what now? _I_ _won't_ _buy_ _the_ _CD_.

The fact remains that there is a legal option for you to obtain the CD. If
you feel the price for the CD is too high, your morally correct choice is to
simply not own it.

That's what I do with things that cost more than I want to, or can, spend.

I don't need to. The law presumes it.

wow. and this is not true for videos?

Video copyright is exactly the same as music copyright. However, not all
copyrighted material is available at any price, nor are all copyright owners
as finicky about people making use of their copyrighted material as the RIAA
and MPAA are.

Jay's use of non-commercially-available low-quality web videos is very
different from your own illegal music file sharing, at least from a moral
stance if not legal.
