^I'm not at all saying you are wrong. I'm just interested to know what others opinions are on a couple things here listed in this post.
First off: What makes secular or world music wrong? Aside from music that has obvious profane content, what makes it wrong?
I say this because there is so much music out there that is considered secular that has no questionable content. By ruling out secular music, do you also rule out secular movies/paintings/books and so on? Think about it.
Secondly: If you refuse to accept a burned cd, would you also refuse to borrow a movie/book/anything? If you borrow a movie from a friend, are you not technically stealing it? If you dont like it, you wont buy it. You tested the full product without paying for it, decided you didn't like it, and gave it back.
So where is the line between stealing and borrowing? Just like borrowing a movie from a friend, downloading music is not costing anyone anything. Because you arent taking a physical product. You are simply taking a digit copy from a unlimited source, costing no one anything.
Again, not saying you're wrong. But I would like someone to explain the questions I've listed. Convicted? Why? What makes X different from Y?
