[QUOTE="Schneiderman, post: 57042860, member: 230055"] I don't understand your point in asking this question. No, it is not acceptable to steal any object. A song in and of itself is not an object, and when you download a song no tangible property changes hands. When you steal a CD from a shop you are actually depriving that shop of an object. When a song is downloaded, nobody is deprived of anything. For example, I do not buy music. In my entire life I have purchased one CD (with a gift card...), and the primary artist featured on that CD is long dead so the people who profited from that sale are his dirtbag relatives who exploit his music. Other than that I have never purchased any form of music. If file sharing was not available, I [I]still[/I] would never purchase music. I'm not really that into it. Even the music that I [I]have[/I] downloaded, I barely ever listen to. I'm not depriving anybody of any profit by downloading music that I otherwise would have simply not sought access to. [/QUOTE]
