The truth is they work very very hard to get where they are today. I can only imagine how you would feel if your paycheck was suddenly smaller because someone was stealing it from you. I doubt you would stand still and take it. The word theif comes to mind and that is exactly what illegal sharing is.......stealing. No different if you were stealing from your family, the corner store, Walmart or neighbor. You can try to justify it any way you want, but it is stealing and that makes you or anyone else a thief.

Apples and oranges, man. Apples and oranges. "They work hard to get where they are today."

That's the best piece of bullshit I've heard today. You mean to tell me that "fiddy," "shady" "p-diddy" and the like all have MBA's from harvard or something? You think that they actually went to school to write rhymes? Give me a break.
I'll tell you what, when the debut video of the newest rapper doesn't feature him/her showing off all their shit (houses, bentley's, bling, bitches and ho's) and they actually rap about something that touches all of us in one way or another, (think Public Enemy) then I'll think about purchasing their album and supporting them. 'Till then, I'm a downloading thief as far as you're concerned. Fuck the RIAA, fuck this backward ass government that supports them and fuck these fake ass wannabe "rappers."
