# that sort of thing is fair enough
but downloading something when you have no intention of buying it is something else.

# Ah...
So half the stuff I downloaded? Ah well. I buy enough merch and concert tickets. It's not like the musicians are at all starving.

# if you decide you don't like it enough to buy it, you should probably delete it

# If you're not prepared to spend money on something,
you can't own it. That's how it is for just about every consumer product, why should music be any different?

# What about if your friend has a cd
and you borrow it and put it on your mp3 player?
Is that stealing? That and the cds my parents have is where almost all of my music is from.

# I'm not exactly sure of the legal technicalities.
But it's safe to say that sharing a CD in a household is a completely different thing to downloading an album from the internet.
And yes, I'd say your example is technically stealing.

# well yes
basically

but who cares.

artists get sod all from their music these days even when it is bought, hence why the decline of the superstar.

# Again, that's not an argument that can justify you stealing from them.
