I have downloaded albums I wouldn't have otherwise bought. Ever. and I've done it many times. Many other people do the same.
People aren't ENTITLED to get what they want for free, but this business model is severely broken now, and it's just common sense to let it go.
The only message I and many other people are "sending" is that we aren't going to let a cartel with a draconian business structure stifle the advancement of technology and Intellectual property laws. Once again, THE SYSTEM IS OUTDATED. EVOLVE!
As a student of music composition, who is hopefully going to be making a living off of my music, I'd say that no, it's not "morally neutral".
However, the impending death of intellectual property as a whole is a FACT, and I'd say better to start getting used to it now than later. This is going to be a worldwide struggle and it is going to be up to my generation (people currently in college) to figure out how artists, writers and inventors are going to be able to survive and thrive.
So really, download away, DRM is the last gasp of a dying concept.
(Make sure you come to see my band though when we tour or I'm SCREWED)
You mean something like, murder 3,000 of your own citizens to rally support for multiple invasions into sovereign countries? I've seen buildings collapse, and I've seen buildings be demolished with explosives. Which did the WTC more closely resemble?
Ah... so beautiful. Ive never met a single Windows user whos computer wasn't plagued with tons of spy/malware. I've never met a single mac user who's ever had any. Obviously the result of some more slapdash hacks.
How many times has my G5 crashed in the year Ive had it (think its been a year, close anyway)? ZERO. My Windows box? Let's just say the it would probably be easier to count the weeks in which it didnt lock up/crash.
Nevermind, you're right, BEAUTIFUL architecture will always defeat slapdash hacks.

You mean you left a book next to a photocopy machine inside a bus that had a big sign on it that said "FREE BOOK COPYING"?

I guess you were an orphan who worked himself through all of young adult life and college?

And you are the greatest fool of all, thinking that punctuation has anything to do with intelligence. But have fun up in your castle of snobbishness!
Regardless of all that, you can't argue against the fact that you can't glide forever. Well I guess you could, but you'd be wrong.
I heard the FCC HATES it if you use swear words over the radio on the way down.
