Who said they're necessarily stealing. People who have paid for content on CD or cassette will logon to a service and download digital copies of stuff they already have and burn them to cds, etc. The industry wants to be able to resell to people in most cases, something they've already paid for once. Screw 'em.
I did. But that's just me.

Why would anyone download content they already have on a CD? Were I so inclined to do so, my plain-vanilla computer could easily rip any track on a CD and put said track onto my hard drive for my private use. My CD player holds (and has) 300 disks, and that's pretty much what I use as far as music at home.
And as for tracks on cassette, do you also feel that Ford should be legally obligated to give you a brand-new 2005 pickup for free if the engine blows up in your primer-colored 1971 F-100?

Which, in my opinion, is something that they're entitled to do since they're the copyright holder. Those who don't agree or can't meet the copyright holder's terms for use of their product shouldn't be consuming the copyright holder's product.
Screw 'em.
No thanks.
