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.

The definition and meaning of stealing has been modified for modern times.Pretty much as a way to protect rich people.
If I steal your car. I have your car....and you're walking to work in the rain.THAT'S stealing
If I never have any intention of buying your CD because I'm too cheap and I sit and wait for someone who did purchase it to let me borrow it so I can record it, you'll live your entire life and never know the difference.
There will always be a group of people who will buy CD's...and eventually, if people do stop buying music, the death of the commercial music industry will be the greatest thing since the invention of the dildo. MTV, RCA, SONY...fuck em all
