I steal the good and buy the best. Music is an art form, not a business. If an artist really loves to make music but can't get by on it, then they'll do it on the side while they work 9 to 5 like everyone else.
Before I got my computer and CD burner, I bought dozens of albums, none of which I feel have been worth my money. Since I've gotten them, I've downloaded or burned dozens more that would not have been worth spending money on. I've also bought every album I've found that I felt was worth my money.
Hell, I want to be a musician someday. Not because of the money, but because I love music and the way it communicates to people. If I have to work a normal job on the side to get by, so be it.
But these greedy RIAA fuckers make me sick.
