333. You simply have a false understanding of how life works
In your world:

You desire something.
You can't afford it.
You use this to justify theft.

In the real world:

You desire something.
You can't afford it.
You don't get to have it.

(In the real world, you also don't get to put a value on the product of an artist, nor do you get to claim that you "need" music so badly it justifies theft).

You should join us here in the real world. The world in which we pay for the things we want (unless they are free). I love music to. In fact, I love it so much that I go to concerts on a regular basis to support artists and as often as possible I buy directly from the artist if possible to maximize their percentages even though its more time consuming to do so.

I could at least respect you if you said "I steal music." and left it at that, but you're continuing to try to justify it. Worse, it seems like you think theft from the smaller artists, the ones who need to income most to provide you with the music you "need" are the ones you have the least problem stealing from.
