i hated kid rock up until this point. He has genuinely redeemed himself in my eyes. his music is still shitty tho. - Anthony

That is funny and he actually manages to get an interesting point accross - Andy Lewandowski

Anthony, you ever think downloading a song illegaly is like stealing a car (or anything else) or you totally missed his point. kid rock is a brick for stating this bullshit. - Marcel Weiß

@Marcel, You really think this is complete bull? It seems there is some validity to his commentary. I don't completely agree with it but I think it has merit. - Andy Lewandowski

What's the wealth limit for when it's OK to steal? $1,000,000? $10,000,000? - Rich

@Richard Bill Gates has to ask at what point is it no longer worth it to bend over to pick up a dropped $100 bill when he could be making more money in those three seconds working on a more important problem. Like I'm doing here. Oh. - Andrew Baron

There is absolutely NO validity to his point. No actual theft is involved when you copy a digital file of any sort that exists on the internet. It's only theft if some loss of property is involved. Meatspace items are finite resources - if you take one you create a loss. Digital items are infinite resources. You can't "steal" a number, which is what digital files are. This is a tired argument that obsolete industries continually trot out in an attempt to justify their lingering existence. - iTad

Meatspace items can be secured from theft - locked, put up, garaged, etc. Some digital files, especially MP3s can NOT be secured. Attempts to protect digital "property" is fine with me, but the moment that a DRM scheme is rendered obsolete, the file it's protecting is no longer property. I "purchase" digital tracks because I can afford it. It's out of respect for the creator and to encourage continuing production. - iTad

It's funny. I'm not sure it's meant to be much more than that. - Iain Baker

Agreed with Tad - you can't steal something that has infinite resources, like a digital file. What makes 'things' valuable are their relative scarcity. I'm not advocating not paying for digital music, but this comparison is completely bogus. The bottom line is that digital music can't and shouldn't be directly monetized like records or CDs. - Phil Glockner

this is great but kids with a sense of entitlement need more than this. They need a spanking to within an inch or their life because in the real world it translate to - Chris Conway

a winey brat who does not want to pay dues and the job market does not tolerate that sort of attitude - Chris Conway
