[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1554372, member: 158"] I have to disagree here. Most people who download unlicensed recordings have access to a computer and CD-Burning software to make use of it. The Itunes or other service really makes little difference in this case, since access to these things takes some money in itself. The extra money spent on an itunes subscription really makes little difference, because they HAVE to have the PC and portability of material anyway. And people with money will steal JUST LIKE people without money; the difference is in the difficulty of being caught, whether rich or poor, because money is still irrelevant to the pull of human nature. The weekly news has examples of this every day. They don't need to - all they need is that sentence or paragraph or so of text to put on their character sheet. If we want to be technical, that's "use" of the product. I agree with Rel in that a value IS attached to the item by its downloader and user; but the school of thought that says, [I]"I can pay what I want for this"[/I] versus [I]"If I want ANY of it I'll pay what the seller agrees to sell it for"[/I] is in serious conflict.
