I agree with you on downloading music that one needs to be careful of their Christian testimony.

But how about music that we do pay for and just want to make a back up so the original doesn't get ruin? Very much like software. Is this stealing? The music industry says so.

"The music industry says so."

The music industry became obsolete with the advent of the first affordable CD burner. They're dead, but unwilling to admit it, and trying to use the power of government to prop themselves up.

Their monopoly on recording equipment kept them in business during the era of vinyl and cassette tapes, but only government intervention can keep them in business now.
