I find it dissapointing that otherwise honest, moral people seem to have no trouble stealing others' work as long as it's "just music". Of course, then again, maybe that's a clear indication that they are not otherwise honest and moral.
Character is defined by what you do when no one is watching, and what you do when you can't get "caught". I think we just had a peak at a couple of Pelicans' character...

So a friend has never burned you a copy of the latest CD they got? Right......
You know I wouldn't have a problem paying a small fee if most of that was going to the artist, but with such a huge percentage of the money going to the big music companies I don't give a rats ass. I download the albums that have a reasonably priced digital or hard copy release. *BHTM* If you want to really understand why people torrent or what is seen to be wrong with the RIAA, go lookup Trent Reznors thoughts on the subject. He is quoted as telling his fans to "just ******* steal it" when he heard what they were charging for one of his albums in AU.
