While I have no love for the record companies, it is stealing pure, plain and simple. You are taking someone else's property without permission and without payment.

Just because Landrover vehicles are a total rip-off, that in no way justifies my taking one. Same goes for the recording industry.

Recording artists have the right to control how their work product is sold, just the same as folks who produce anything. If you don't like the price, don't buy it!
