You won't believe it because you just can't stand the thought that someone
might actually have a point. You can label me whatever you like, it
doesn't
give you a leg to stand on, nor does it change the fact that I'm not a
hypocrite, nor that I am not lying.

Everyone's a hypocrite. The only difference is in degree.

Am I a thief because I've downloaded a few dozen songs from the internet
from people who are making them available to me? In your eyes, perhaps. I
sleep comfortably, though, and can look in the mirror without flinching.

Psst: I spit on the sidewalk today, too.
No big surprise there. Why do you even bother to mention it?

Ohhh-kay, I'll explain it to ya', Pete. Listen up 'cause I won't repeat it:
I brought up the spitting on the sidewalk thing because I am not a "thief"
for downloading a few songs any more than I am a felon because I spit on the
sidewalk (which is against the law in my city). There is a difference in
degree that cannot be dismissed by hypocrites like you.

I happen to think that the quality of the songs downloaded from any on-line
source are great for sampling, only. To listen to them on burned CD on a
high quality system (even iTunes "legal" downloads) is like rubbing
fingernails on a chalk board, in my opinion. You get what you pay for. It
doesn't stop me from downloading a few tunes to listen to at work or
sampling a CD or two every now and then.

Someone who downloads gig's of songs and never buys a CD? He's a thief.
Someone who wants a sampling of a few "flying" songs and chooses not to buy
every single CD and downloads them for free? He's an aviation enthusiast
and nothing more.
