This is definitely a touchy subject. I don't download music or movies, but did download frontpage recently. Granted I purchased it a week later. I had planned on buying it to begin with, but needed it then, and got it. So was that stealing, I dunno. I paid $100.00 out of my pocket for the program when I could have kept it and had no issue with getting caught or anything probably ever because I like to own things I feel shouldn't be shared. Music I don't know. Movies I don't think you should download. I'll have to think on the music thing and post again, lol.
