maybe I'm more aware because my father-in-law was a songwriter and we continue to benefit from his skills, but ...
If you download a song that someone wrote/recorded/produced at no small expense, and you don't pay for it, you're screwing that person. Forget the big bad record companies, no one can defend them because they do business in a stupid way, but think about the artist. Yes, the record companies should have come up with iTunes long before Apple had to, but they haven't yet. Until they do, downloading songs is like shoplifting. Simple as that.
Is downloading movies OK? Because now with DSL and cable modems, that's next. Or are the movie studios not as bad so you feel bad for them, and that Sandra Bullock is cute so don't hurt her? Where's the line?
