Originally posted by FelixJaeger: Willow you seem to have neglected the fact that I said I buy the albums, how else am I supposed to pay them? Give all of my spare money to the bands I like even though most of them make more money in one week than I have seen in my entire life? So? Read your own post again. You said you payed through your connection fees. You don´t! And if you buy the albums afterwards, then [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] to you. And no it's not a bad analogy, its just very extreme, but if I was offended easily, I may have gone and killed myself, you don't know my state of mind and then to be called that by a stranger could push someone too far. Hell i've been in too many fights and arguments for being called a thief when i'm not(even with teachers which means i lose automatically )I think you are missing the point. If someone downloads music fro the net via file sharing software he/she is a thief. Thief - One who takes portable property from another without the knowledge or consent of the latter, converting it to his own use; one who steals. Since one downloads music without the knowledge and consent of the owner, how does this not make him/her a thief?
