Re: Bullshit rationalizations, thief.
Considering the large sums of money Morrissey gets from his concerts, a hundred downloads won't make him any poorer.
I am totally broke, can't order imported singles at the moment and if I didn't get them on a site, I am sure I would get them elsewhere.
f*** copyrights!
Would I be a thief if I taped the songs from a radio station? Should I be concerned that someone will be knocking at my door and arresting me?
Please don't officers, I am just a less fortunate fan!
Give me a break.
Those capitalist pigs at record companies are the ones who are stealing money from the artists.
Go and join the campaigns against p2p sharing, if you're so concerned about it.
