Paying for music is, like, so 2001!

There's quite a few file-sharing programs/sites/whatever out there.  The big controversy here is: is file-sharing stealing or
not?  I find myself at a moral crossroads with this one.  Let's first look at the Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary for a
strict definition:

steal v.

1. To get shit for free.

So, it's definitely stealing, right?  But wait a second, what are you actually getting here?  A copy of something that was
made at no cost and doesn't actually exist in any physical form?  How is that stealing?  Yeah, the guy's not getting paid,
but you were never going to buy it anyway!  What is he really losing?  Why is Lars so pissed off, if it's "all about the
music?"  On a side note, doesn't he know that nobody gives a fuck about drummers?

I guess the idea is, people need to be paid for their work and in turn we must be forced to actually pay for products.  But
paying is absolutely against human nature!  I don't know exactly at which point we stopped looting and pillaging outright
and began meekly exchanging trinkets of currency for goods like a bunch of pussies, but we lost part of ourselves when it
happened.  We lost big.     

I mean, if I could go to a database and download an MP3 of a hamburger into my stomach, guess what...Wendy can pretty
much lick my balls, I'm not going in there ever again.  

What, do I wanna "go and get some Chinese?"  Are you stupid?  You can go on ahead and barter with your clamshells,
doofus.  I just Limewired a BLT an hour ago, so no thank you, I'm not really hungry.

Once left in peace, I then retreat to cyberspace to dump digital interpretations of "love" and "fulfillment" directly into my
cortex.  God, I wish the Matrix was real.  I'd never have to leave the house.
