I don't know, I'm more conflicted on this issue than I should be. On the one hand, stealing is wrong. Artists who don't get paid won't make more art, and that would be a Bad Thing.

On the other hand, the music industry is probably more corrupt than the boxing industry, and that's saying something. I don't know a single musician who has anything nice to say about the labels or the RIAA. The labels have a decades-long history of ripping off the artists, so anything that starts to take the labels out of the equation can't be wholly bad.

But wholesale theft can't really be the answer. Like I said, I'm conflicted. I know the lawsuits are wrong. And I know that the downloading is wrong. And I love music and musicians. So I would love to see what Tony Blair would call a "third way."

There's plenty of wrong to go around, I guess.
