I knew that the game was rigged and [record companies and artists] were STEALING money from everyone who purchased a CD.

How can you steal from someone who makes a willing purchase? If you feel like the price is a ripoff, then don't buy a CD, but don't justify stealing the music and say it's OK because the price of a CD has risen more than you like.

You're making the case for PTP.
