If you pay 1.29 for a single song you should be slapped.

I don't steal them, I evaluate the music for an undisclosed amount of time for purely artistic reasons.

I examine them for flaws.

Didn't you learn not to steal while growing up? I don't care if you think it's "just music," but unless you think it's OK to go into the store and take things from the shelves w/o paying it's the same thing.

Moreover, the new $150k damages penalty that can come your way per song for file-sharing now ought to scare you off.

Ouw, somebody want ruin the party. Let me download a couple gigs of MP3 so we can party. By the way, the 150k threat won't effect me since I'm in a different jurisdiction and pirated DVDs are openly sold in Mals.

Didn't you learn not to be condescending when growing up?

You're not "taking" the same thing - the physical CD manufacturing process weighs heavily into the price tag, and the artist actually gets very little. For that reason, so-called "new marketing" is far more important in music than anywhere else - and this is the real reason behind the RIAA's actions: to protect the absurd profits of the labels.

That doesn't mean stealing is 'right' or even morally ambiguous, but it does mean that the tide is shifting away from what you're talking about and toward a new music model. There is no reason to support the "old" system any more than there is reason to buy dictaphone recordings or fly in an autogyro.
