beginning w/ an essentially materialist view of the world, am i right?

>Yeah, you SAY it's valuable...

no, it IS valuable to me...i enjoy the music, it makes me smile, it makes me dance and it makes me happy :-) that is VALUABLE because i'm not talking about money

>but if you were told to pay for
>it you would not.

why should i pay for something when someone "tells" me to (lol, interesting use of the word "tell", as in "order", as in, "you must do what i command") after they've already TOLD me i could have it for free?

that makes no sense...should is stop dl'ing free releases because i "should" pay for them

should i send a check to every artist that releases an mp3 that i enjoy?

lmao

IN FACT, i HAVE and DO pay for music that i could get for free QUITE OFTEN


and as far as that "analogy" about the kidnapping and all that...color me confused cause i have no clue what the point is you're trying to make w/ that
