You have a choice not to buy it, taking it without paying is theft.

If this was the case, we'd all be in prison

ASDA is crap anyway, they changed their Flying Saucer sweet recipe :'(

For a moment there I was wondering where you got a pic of Missyburd from

This is not really a thread about the rights and wrongs of downloading music.

Its about the Censorship that has now been placed over those of us that use an ISP that is obeying a court order which has the purpose of enforcing thought-crime by making it impossible for you to do something that is deemed by a Judge to be "wrong".

Lol it IS the case, the only reason you're not all in prison is because its not feasible to arrest everyone.
Fines however are becoming increasingly more common!

Imo that is the crux of the matter, they want paying 10 20 100 million times, poor artists.

At the end of the day, what are the police going to care about?

Justin Bieber not selling albums or somebody getting murdered?

And people are'nt taking it, they must have dropped it and it's lying on the floor, finders keepers.

That my friend is the archetypical middle class crime and happens constantly(I worked in a garden centre for years)

The old gents and dears who do it Would certainly claim its ok and not criminal at all even though it is stealing part of the product.

Although in this case you are affecting the product eventually purchased even if not by much.

Ideally both.

How would you feel if you were an artist, and people walked into your shop to photograph your work instead of buying it?
