Clearly, the disagreement lies in differing interpretations of intellectual property rights. The law has taken one side, but guess who's winning.

You can make that claim till you're blue.
I'll repeat: If you have taken something that someone expects payment for and that they own, without your paying, you are a thief. Pure and simple.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

Where do things like using youtube as a music player fall into this, your not technically pirating but you can listen to whatever music you want whenever you want, freely, and the listening of the music is the act that you are supposed to be paying for. Artists see no profit return from this either.

What's wrong with it? 
I am just interested if people who steal consider it a self-centered action.  Right and wrong are subjective terms and I thought this might just be a little clearer in seeing how other people feel about it. Do people who steal simply just not give a shit about others, that's all I trying to find out.

If the owners of the music didn't want it there, they'd file (and do file) take down notices.

And it looks like you plan on making this claim till you're blue.
I'm gonna sit back and watch you guys turn blue.

The alternative might be for those companies to clean up their fucking act. Places like Wal-Mart should encourage that by doing business with legitimate factories, instead of taking advantage of (and encouraging) these abuses to up their profit margin.
I'm sure you think you're oh so worldly, realistic, and hard-nosed. Pretty easy when you're living a comfortable life.

Yeah. I'm sorry, but a lot of it really does boil down to luck.
