Except that in this case, there are still just as many tomatoes at the stand when they leave. Oops, doesn't fit your "stealing" paradigm very well...

Incorrect. A downloaded song that was not paid for is a loss of revenue. It's stealing. I love how you thieves squirm at the reality of your deeds. Just admit it. You're a petty thief.

This is only true if the choice is between obtaining the song for free or obtaining the song by purchase. That's a false dilemma. The third choice is not obtaining the song at all (which is, after all, what most people do). Compared to that, the 'content provider' loses nothing to downloading.

Interesting. I have not stated that I illegally download songs at all. What is your evidence?
