I remember when cds first came out. The music industry said they had to charge higher prices for the cds to pay for development costs and that after time the prices would come down. Well, they lied... as if you didn't know. So, I say pirate all the music you want. The musicians will still be overpaid and overrated. It's only a minor dent in the music industry's revenue (if that)... and most people decide to buy cds even if they have all the mp3s. I do, anyways... if it's a good cd. MP3s allow me to sample an entire cd BEFORE I invest my hard earned money on a lame cd with one good song... something I've done MANY times in the past. As far as I'm concerned, the music biz owes me big time. Screw them.
