If you want to download that's one thing. Being completely unwilling to recognize its stealing it blows my fucking mind.
Call it what you want. Then I will call you a dirty thief for all those used CDs you bought that ripped money directly out of the artists pockets. Because apparently you can steal without actually taking anything away from anyone. I'm not saying we shouldn't support the artists. I'm not even saying that downloading isn't on morally shaky ground. I'm just arguing that downloading some artist's music is not like going into their house and stealing their TV. I'm saying that music's value is determined by the public and is nothing like contracted or commissioned work.

I already know how you're going to respond to this and it's going to miss the point, so let me make myself clear. The artist can determine how much it's going to sell for, but the public decides how many are going to be sold. Multiply those numbers and that's the value.
