I'm new here, so take it easy on me
I don't believe that Goober is trying to rationalize stealing. The music industry has failed miserably at keeping up with technology.
I won't pay 99 cents for a song when the song doesn't even exist on any sort of physical media, and I certianly won't pay 15 dollars for a CD. So what's the answer? I don't know. But it's clearly a failure of the music industry to capitolize on new technology.
People have been making mp3's for over 10 years now. But the music industry still tries to push CD's on people that don't want to buy them.
