 Re: Downloading Classical Music

I'm sorry, but I have heard variations of that tired, self-justifying argument made by all sorts of pirates, from software thieves to those who were such big supporters of Napster's original thievery of music recordings without compensation to the artists.

Stealing is stealing; whether it is a dollar or a thousand, it is still wrong. Trying to justify it with arguments like those listed above is simply justification for bad behavior. I hope that when my daughter realizes her lifelong goal and graduates from music school, she will still be able to count on part of her salary coming from the royalties from recordings.

Making excuses for reprehensible acts of piracy is not much above stealing money from the musicians directly. Moral relativism doesn't work. Stealing is stealing, plain and simple.
