No defence for 'stealing' music 10:36am on 03 Jul 2008 I'd love to download music but want to make sure that I'll be able to use it in future, I only want to pay once so abhor DRM for not rental items.

However I will never steal. Just because a CD is a physical object the profits are still all about the content so I don't see the difference between not paying in HMV or not paying online.

Over the years I have a smallish music collection of about 4000 tracks all of which are legally bought and (maybe not so legally) ripped to the computer which probably equates to a £2000 investment. It's probably right that I wouldn't go out and spend £2000 on music just to fill up an iPOD but then I don't think I would know 4000 tracks that I would want to listen to without having spent a number of years deciding what to buy.
