Why should we not incrementally diminish their funding?

And stealing does nothing more to diminish their funding than simply not buying the music...but it's morally wrong.

It really has nothing to do with the music. I want to defund these bastards and thus defend the remnants of my rights.

THEN SIMPLY DO NOT PURCHASE THEIR WORKS.

Stealing from them doesn't accomplish anything beyond that--except, of course, damage your soul beyond salvation.

No, It would hurt them worse to download some popular crap and then share it in a peer-to-peer environment.

An interesting point. If thou shalt not steal, is stealing a drunken friend's car keys damaging to your soul? Is stealing a murderer's knife damaging to your soul? If thou shalt not kill, is killing someone strangling you damaging to the soul?

It was the whole 'Rock the Vote' thing that got Clinton on MTV talking about his underwear. They are the rent-a-mob crowd as well....
