Interesting. Let's tally the reasons why MP3 abusers feel they can do what they do so well.

The Reasons Are:

1) Record companies are evil so it is OK to steal from them.

2) Record companies are owned by the Mafia so it's OK to steal from them.

3) Record companies don't pay the artists anything so it's OK to steal from them.

4) The recording artists are all on drugs anyway so it's OK to steal from them.

5) I am part of a "revolution" so it's OK to steal.

6) The artists like Metallica and Dr Dre that have already announced lawsuits against Internet Pirates are just being greedy so it's OK to steal from them.

7) Music as art cannot be owned by anyone regardless of who wrote, recorded., and published it, so it's OK to steal it.

8) The Internet will make the owners and investors of companies like Napster and MP3.com rich so its OK to steal Copyrighted material.

9) The courts are behind the times so its OK to steal Copyrighted material.

10) I have a "Right" to have the latest album by Korn so its OK to steal from them.

Have I missed anything?

From now on when posting reasons why it's OK to pirate copyrighted music, I urge everyone to use the above reason number #'s instead. It will save lots of typing. Plus, reading the same complete nonsense over and over gets really tiring after awhile.
