Downloading songs is not legal, just like downloading games is not legal.

Quote:Downloading music is like taking towels and such from a hotel roomThat quote says you know that full well, but you simply are saying you don't really care or consider it a "real" crime. There are plenty of places to listen to lots of different bands one or two songs at a time to see if you like them, such as mp3.com, where I've just spent way too much time listening to a lot of music that I had heard of but never heard. I'm not trying to attack you and I don't think you are a horrible person if you download music or games or whatever else. My brother dowloads a lot of stuff that he hears on the radio and he says that since the radio is free this should be too, and I get on him about it. I don't think he is an evil person, but I'm trying to encourage him to do what is right, and that's what I'm trying to do here. I know how easy it is to rationalize this, but stealing is stealing is stealing, and it really doesn't matter what you take. So just admit that and if you still don't mind, go for it. But don't try to pretend that it's perfectly 100% moral or legal.
