im a total car whore...every man for himself..this is a crazy world..if
i get phat cars for free more power to me, cause i barely have money to
spend..who agrees here? haven't cars in the past always been for people
with money?
doesn't seem so ethical(what is the ethic? spending money to buy or
selling yr car like a whore?) but hey cars are for the masses..
unfortunately a lot of people into fast cars are also up with the car
theft scene so it might have a big effect..ethically, it all comes down
to a person's choice of willing to spend the money to support the car
manufacturer. doesnt it?

bullshit.
Replace tbe word 'music' with any 'item for sale' in your post and you
realized how completely FUCKED this argument is.
theft is theft.
If someone is expecting to get paid for something they made/provide and
you take it for free without their consent, that is stealing.
I'm not trying to pass moral judgements on anyone here, I'm just
pointing out how some people have the most twisted way of
rationalizing their actions.
Personally, I download aproximently a gig a day via napster.
Guess how I rationalize it?
I only download things I OWN (or are 'freely distributable') and am too
lazy to record off vinyl/rip off cd and encode for my personal use. I
don't even feel the least bit bad about it since i've spent WELL over a
hundred thousand dollars during the last 20 years on the music I love.
Yes, music is for people with money, as are cars, computers, software,
video games, telephones, books, shelter, clothes, food, etc.
There is a BIG difference between being RICH and having money.
Any person with a job has money.
Get a fucking job and you too will have money.
If not, you can do without.
brockout.
