Look at my posts on this thread and see where I say download music for free. Not once will you find it.

The fact that you jumped to such a conclusion without any data adds additional proof to my point about attribution theory.

My interest in this is as a professor who teaches on copyright issues. I run into a lot of people who are obsessed with other people "stealing." They cannot get past that point. I am trying to figure out why that's so difficult for them. I am unfortunately at the point where I'm concluding they just don't have the mental ability. Rather than work through the issues (which takes time and mental acuity), it's far easier to jump on the moral bandwagon so deftly provided by the RIAA.

Why do you care what other people do? Why the acrimony, the moral highhandedness? Who are you to pass judgment--especially when there are numerous complex issues that you haven't grasped--before you jumped on their case?
