If someone was caught nicking a loaf of bread from ASDA, would their excuse that the same loaf at Tesco's was cheaper, therefore they were being 'ripped off', stand up in court?
This is the thing, if you take a loaf of bread you are stealing it because ASDA/TESCO can't sell that loaf, because its now in your position.

It is not the same thing when music is concerned unless you are actually stealing cd's from the shop, its a breach of copyright.
