Then, by your reasoning, allowing a friend to listen to your tape, cd, etc is "stealing" because the copyrighter did not consent to your "broadcast" of the song.
I buy plenty of cds, but I buy NONE unless I have heard the songs first, ALL OF THEM. Because the music industry now controls largely what stations play, this is impossible without downloading. I do the same thing with software. I try it, if I like it, I buy it, if not I hit delete.
BUT, because of all the shoddy code and 1 good song albums out there, I refuse to buy to find out. Been burned too many times when I was younger by all the false hype.
If that makes me immoral in your eyes "O judge of morality", I can live with that.
