did you not notice that I said I only used that tone to MATCH Rob's INSINUATION? i resent his accusations of en masse
stealing of albums by downloading, that is bullshit! Stealing is to go and take something that was for sale. Hacking into iTunes to download is stealing, getting an MP3 copy of an album from a website or friend online is not stealing. Perhaps stream-capturing (which I am guilty of) or recording streams using and audio program is stealing, but not simply downloading a music file that you did not pay for. Rob's argument is a red herring, designed to make the supposed thieves SMELL SO BAD to the artists we don't actually investigate the details and degree of downloading and its definitions as stealing
