If you want to morally equate illegal music sharing with the theft of physical property then be my guest. I'm not overly concerned with philosophical questions such as that. I know I've contributed more of my money to the music society ever since I began sharing music on the net, so no, I will not be ashamed of the fact that I do not pay for every piece of music I download. [/QUOTE]Theft is theft. How would you feel about a group of thugs breaking into your house and "sharing" your electronics, furniture and personal possesions?
