This is not a moral issue at all. Suppose I stand on a street corner and sing an original song. On what moral basis can I say, "no one who hears this song can sing it themselves"? In fact, I would be the one with the moral problem, since I am attempting to coerce others from repeating my words.

Downloading music, intercepting cable signals, etc., are not immoral acts. Certainly we can make them illegal, but in themselves they are not immoral.

Offering other people's copyrighted product for other people to rip is theft in my opinion.I have always found it unethical.God frowns upon both the people who offer the download sites and the people who rip other's songs.

You are stealing intellectual property.
Theft is immoral.

You may want to justify away that you're not stealing, but you are.
