downloading mp3's has given my money to artists who would never have had my wallet opened for previously...
pretty much all the analogies about mp3's and content have been pretty vacuous.... when content is stolen it's to make a profit from it - using your work to make money from.. it's VERY far removed from someone downloading an mp3 of a band for personal use that they may actually buy the CD of at a later date... and if a paysite operator gave free access to someone he's actually forking out with his credit card for bandwidth.. not a nebulous and hard to quantify loss or increase in future profit..
i hope you don't record anything off TV with your VCR.
