Actually, my original point was it's wrong to take what belongs to someone else, regardless of how outragously they price it.

This side argument is the other posters attempt to hide from the reality that what he is doing is stealing from others. We have copyright laws to protect against this and he even admits this endeavor is, in fact, illegal.


I never claimed it was legal to copy music. I claimed it wasn't stealing. I agree it's legal. Your original point is valid. It is stealing to take something from someone else without their permission. However, my point was copying the song doesn't take it away from the owner. You agreed by giving the simular argument that copying the boat doesn't take it away from the owner. Neither copy of boat nor song is stealing. Your original point, though valid by itself, isn't valid for the subject at hand (is copying music theft?)

Oops. Let me correct that: I agree it's illegal.
