Life's too short and music is too beautiful and inspiring to worry about what lawyers think about the subject.

It would be refreshing if just ONCE someone would admit that they download songs illegally because they KNOW they can get away with it and not resort to this kind of sophistic reasoning. It is stealing, and the only reason why you're doing it is because you know you can't get caught. I doubt you'd feel the same about going into a record store and stealing CDs.
To me these are just flowery words to justify stealing. You can substitute anything:
Peace of mind and harmony is too important to stop me from being able to shoot that annoying mother fucker who who insists on driving in the speed lane at 40 mph with his right blinker on.
Yes, i know the arguments: the music industry is evil, yada yada yada. I consider walmart pretty evil too, but i won't steal from them even if i KNEW i could get away with it. Stealing is stealing. Plus, there are artists losing money from illegal downloads, it's not JUST metalica. Don't fool yourself.
