oops i did it again – how i stole my own music CD

When was the last time you stole from Sony BMG? Chances are, when you transferred a song to your iPod from a music CD that you actually paid for is when. Greed knows no bounds. Apparently, Sony aren't making enough money from music sales. They want you to repeatedly pay for every copy you make of the song. Will they start charging for every listen too? It can't be too far off, seeing as how impoverished the Sony BMG CEO is becoming. How about face the music – the business model for the recording industry has already changed. You can take your payola and stuff it. And you know what, bigwig record labels? I'll never buy music from you again, just in case, I, you know, "steals just one copy" of the music I already paid for in order to bloody well listen to it. There are plenty of generous people who will just GIVE it to me without greed or the need for huge amounts of cash. So tell me, if I download it once to my hard drive, never make a copy again, and maybe share it, is that stealing?
