I hope you can see there is a big difference between not listening to a CD because you can't afford it and taking the product because you can't afford it. You're stealing, thief. By downloading it you're simply not fucking the artist and label EXTRA, instead of normal. But you're still fucking them.

Cigarettes is even dumber than weed.

You're misquoting yourself. Your point was that you care just as much as me. That's factually fucking false. Fuck you. You're a delusional dickhead if you think you're on anywhere near a genuine level of devotion to the artists.

Oh, yeah, you know, because tape trading was as accessible as the internet. You totally have a point. Oh, and I guess if crime is rampant it's totally fine. Quick people, let's all kick in our neighbors car windows and then attribute it to human nature because we're all doing it, even though we very fucking clearly can go without doing so.
And seriously? You're comparing guitar tabs to fucking stealing the whole product? That's pathetic.
I don't like second hand CD stores too much, but people should have a right to sell what they own, so I don't care. But people don't have a right to steal what they don't own, fucker.
And yes, I have a problem with copied DVDs, asshole.
