A representative of my ISP and I had a chat one day about my downloading habits consisting of roughly 25-30% pirate bay and limewire. I expressed my opinion on the "piracy" discussion and we apparently saw eye-to-eye. Narry a single comment from them in more than a year. Until things change around here.... I am A-OK with downloading a few songs here and there without paying money to the individuals who created and performed that song. Chock up one more in agreeance with Yoav.

And here we have evidence of someone who will steal just because he can.
And he isn't commissioning the work from the people he downloads from, either.
What a great way to support art.

It very likely is, and I would say that it is unethical, unless the content is supplied by the copyright holder.
