The same old tired excuses, "I can't afford to pay for it so its okay to download it" is absolute rubbish, music is not a necessity of everyday life, the people who create it attach a value to it, if you can't afford to pay that value, or don't agree with it, then make your statement and vote with your $$ by not buying it. I agree that we need a new method of paying for and obtaining our music, but excusing 'theft' by claiming you can't afford it is a poor excuse. I know downloading music isn't strictly speaking "theft" it’s a copyright violation, but rightly or wrongly its still illegal and trying to excuse it by claiming poverty is just wrong.
