i, for one, have absolutely NO problem downloading songs from the web. for example, i've been listening to coldplay's lastest release, "a rush of blood to the head", for the past 2 weeks without once waking up in the middle of the night worrying about chris martin's mortgage payments.
it is my contention that as an obsessive music collector i have paid my finanical dues to "the man" and deserve to get a little "somethin' somethin'" for the years spent doling out the readies for cds that are overpriced.
i should also state that i usually go out and purchase the offical releases of my fave bands after listening to a burned copy of the album (i.e. doves "the last broadcast" and elbow's "asleep at the back")
