Illegal downloading is not stealing, and illegal downloaders are not thieves. Copyright like the patent system is worthless and only serves to destroy innovation.
If it weren't for copytight people would just be copying other people

They can disagree all they like, it will not change the fact that copyright infringement and theft are two completely different things.

Why dont you buy it over itunes or a online store like it? There are other options other than illegal downloading. Saves you breaking the law.

I wouldn't bet againsts it!
I agree that albums where relly dear. Though you can get good deals online if you search, better option than breaking the law.

Illegal Downloading of Music Movies ect is wrong, theres no way about it. Its true what they say, its just like walking into HMV ASDA Tesco or Walmart and taking it without paying. Though the chances of getting caught are much slimmer. Now its easy to sit back and say ''Theres worser thing in the world happening'' ''These Artists are making millions'' ''Albums are far to dear''. Try investing your OWN money and time in any Artisitc idea then lets see what your reaction will be. Anybody with half a brain will know its wrong and illegal.
These Record companies and Movie companies whether they be big ones or Independants at the end of the day they are investing money to make make money, not lose it. That also goes for Artists who also invest there money and time. If you are willing to make music or movies with your OWN money and give it away for free, thats you right. Nothing wrong with that.
Now i have nothing to with Music business or Movie Business. It just gets to me when you hear people trying justify illegal downloading. If i find something too dear that i like, i'll save up money then buy it or if i don't agree with the price i'll try finding it somewhere else or not buy it at all. For some people though its ''Oh thats to dear...i'll steal it.
I don't care if an artist has millions in the bank and is with a huge record company making billions year in year out and there album is dear. Thats no excuse to steal.
I would like to hear your views on this subject. I would like to hear people and justify illegal downloading.
