Someone put their blood, sweat and tears into producing that piece of art form. Anyone who decides they should be entitled to have a copy of that without paying for it is wrong. I have to pay to have a print of a painting - why should music be any different just because it is in digital form? People can justify it to themselves however they want but it amounts to the same. The internet has bred a generation of people who feel they have a god given right to take things just because there is a means of obtaining it - they don't.
