This is only true if the choice is between obtaining the song for free or obtaining the song by purchase. That's a false dilemma. The third choice is not obtaining the song at all (which is, after all, what most people do). Compared to that, the 'content provider' loses nothing to downloading.
I love how you thieves squirm at the reality of your deeds. Just admit it. You're a petty thief.
Interesting. I have not stated that I illegally download songs at all. What is your evidence?
If you’re gaining a copy of the material without paying that’s theft. There’s nothing false in the dilemma. That idea that you wouldn’t obtain if it wasn’t free does not change the fact that obtaining without paying is theft. The content provider loses copy control.
