I do think it’s wrong to a certain degree. You can’t stop it. But it’s a great way for artists to tap into newer markets. I remember as kids we used to record songs off the radio on mix tapes – and try to get as much of the song, but cut of the radio dj. That was a way I heard different types of music my other friends were into. Now that I’m older and although you can download mp3s from the net or even buy dvds at our traffic lights, I prefer to have an “original” of all my favorite CDs and DVDs. It’s a mindset, and you can’t change every person, but people are slowly educating themselves and over time many of us “pirates” buy the real deal. Theft? What about all of us that are getting robbed by the “system”, taxes and expensive telecoms pricing? I’d say that’s theft, but that’s a different topic!
