The guy that stole money from the bank down the street wasn't charged with
stealing either but he stole.

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.
