well if i stole a copy of 'Thriller' from
Walmart he wouldn't go looking for it either,
but he would suffer a financial loss for that item.
the cd that MJ sells for money in your music
store is a mass produced COPY that is offered
to the public to own a copy for a price....
MJ is not offering mp3 copies for free.
otherwise he wouldn't copyright and sell the cd.
the copy of the music, is what your taking
from MJ, knowing he's not offering it for free.
that fact that you have it in mp3
format instead of a cd still doesn't change the fact
you that you took a copy of his music without paying for it
or authorization.

really? stealing implies that you *take* something from someone, if i
download an mp3 of thriller, does michael jackson spend an hour digging
through his record collection trying to find the copy that i "stole"
from him?
intellectual property is a broken concept.
