I don't think I've ever advocated theft, but I am a huge proponent of New Media and the inherent shift in monetization. Those who are going to succeed are going to be those who flexibly adapt to the new paradigm.

I still don't get how that sanctions stealing RIAA-backed music.
Why steal music from irresponsible, short-sighted artists? The RIAA-signed artist is your enemy, they are the food on which the RIAA feeds.
