It doesnt make it right.
But sureley you can undertand why people steal? I can Sympathise with why people do it, its easy, its not punished very harshly.
Maybe if laws were stricter in this country it would remove the temptation for people to steal but thats a different matter! If you were not as fortunate as you probably are would you not be tempted to find a easy way out.
If somebody burguled my house I would like to be there to beat the hell out of them, but unfortuantely that illegal (probably more so that theft) too!!
I used to 'unfortunately' work in a shop........whilst there you would see the same shoplifters being caught time and time again (generally part of the local tramp population), its simple for them to do, if they get away with it, they get a free bottle, if not they get to spend the day at a police station.
I dont think mp3 downloads are necessarily because people are poor, they are often for trial or because of the changing mediums in the world.
Some people use a media centre for everything and downloading music is the most conveinient method, until recently there havent been any/many legal sites that allow this, now napster and I-Tunes do.
The record industry needs to wake up, its living in the past, it will end up killing itself if it doesnt watch it.
