Movies, music, TV shows, DVDs, Software, Games... You name it. To me, it's just sharing with other people, as I normally give to the community before I take.

1. You can view dead animals in museums too.
2. Museums sometimes charge entry fees.
3. Art != Arist. Non sequitur.
4. People who write music can be composers as well. Or lyricists. What is music?
5. The rest of it is flawed due to the antecedent being flawed.
Nice try though. Unfortunately, they tried that infront of a federal judge, and he didn't buy it.
(Some do, though...)

I wouldn't say that downloading music is stealing... It's resourceful. College students' way of making up for lack of income.

The general consensus is that pirating and downloading stuff illegally actually hurts the revenue of the companies' severely. However, how many of us would actually buy cds and dvds if downloading wasn not an option? I sure wouldn't. I think people are forgetting that the vast majority of people who download illegally would not spend money otherwise. So no harm done.

I never though about it that way...
I wouldn't buy DVDs or CDs anyways....
Dumb companies.
This should be read by everyone. Great post soviet.

I buy very few movies, I simply rent them (why the hell would I want to watch it more than 5 times?). And I don't really have that much music, but I do buy it. But, honestly, I'm not going to sit here and whine about people who download illegally. If I thought it was unfair, I would DL too. And I would never dream of a record company going under 
And, as said before, a person who downloads for free would never buy the thing in the first place anyway

I usually buy my music, I had bad experiences with filesharing programs madly slowing down my computer. Even when I decided to be a greedy person and disallow all sharing. Anyways, I like having the original medium, I dunno why.
Personally, I don't care about people downloading crap. Have fun, it's not like it has affected me.

It just has a really stupid name and desktop icon. But I know it works.

It's a government conspiracy. They promote illegal activities to weed out those foolish enough to listen to them.

downloading music illegaly is no thing to throw around, you can get 5 years in prison and/or fines upwards of $250,000
yes downloading without paying if it is not free is stealing
you are stealing the intellectual property of another person when you do so
why do we do it?
have you ever seen anyone actually prosecuted for this?
looks to left*looks to right*pulls out cell phone*calls FBI*ok they fell for the bait!*
