So it's ok to aquire something by just taking it when it's owner(s) are trying to sell it?
So when I'm walking down the street and I pass by a fruit stand outside the store that has peaches for 50 cents a piece, it's ok to just take some because nobody's watching? Because I can?
I agree that the entertainment industry is filthy and rich but that doesn't mean it's ok to just take things simply because you can. As the old saying goes, two wrongs don't make a right.
You think that by stealing you're going to somehow change the way businesses act? I highly doubt it. All you'll do is raise the price for everybody else and kill the motivation for people to create.
