That's ridiculous.

I live a regular life just like everyone else, and I deserve to get paid for my work. Period. If you don't want to pay for it, and you take it anyway, then you deserve whatever penalty the government can throw at you.

This whole "doing it for the love of the art" is bullshit. It costs money to make and distribute art. It doesn't just magically sprout from the earth.

That's a laughable argument. I'm not blaming anyone, other than the technology that has allowed us to get it for free. That's why I do it. I didn't scheme my way to free music, I used what was available and got something for free as opposed to paying for it. It's so simple that all that "you blame them and blah blah blah" falls of deaf ears with me. I don't give a fuck whose fault it is, I'm getting something for free because I can and because paying for something when I don't need to is fucking retarded. Call it what you want I could care less, I'd rather have my money, and believe me I've never lost sleep over it either.
