Good. Then don't bitch when the law comes after you.

However, I don't feel remorse, for the reasons stated above (price fixing, poor quality of recent music, relatively small number of "good" songs per album, etc.)

Well, if you don't feel remorse because the prices are fixed too high and there is some poor quality, then do you assign the same criteria to other products?
How about stealing some clothes from the Abercrombie & Fitch. They're overpriced...
Or Nike? They're WAY overpriced and they exploit 3rd world workers.
I think some cars are
far too expensive. Guess (using your argument) I can go out and make off with them because, ye know, they're not really up to scratch...

And I understand very well that the global market is more than NA, but I was commenting on only US sales (which I believe I've seen cited in an RIAA anti-P2P document somewhere) that blamed the drop in NA sales directly on P2P.

That's a fair point.
But the discussion was based around the BBC article that specifically stated 1 in 3 CDs sold is now pirated globally.
