Hey Chewbacca. You are aware I suppose, that were my CDs for sale in your store, your store would have made more money per CD than I would have?

I don't see a problem with this, yet an mp3 thief would use it as justification for not buying from your store because you are "ripping me off", by taking more than me.

At least that seems to be the logic behind kids who attack a record company for recouping on the money it outlays and using it to justify stealing intellectual property.
