Yes true stealing is illegal
but what these people seem to forget is that if it the MP3 underground copying people had been stopped completely in the early days, things like MP3 players, and Ipods and the like wouldnt even exist today

They ought to be saying thankyou for allowing them to become fatter cats by our invention.

MP3 was generally first used so people could copy and transfer multiple albums, burnt back onto cd to play them

So MP3 and its hardware is -O-N-L-Y- as popular as it is thanks to those original pirates around 10 years ago

Think about it fat cats

No MP3's an entire market sector dies with it
