Is that principle so alien to you? Do you also ask why taking a deodorant from a supermarket is illegal? I mean they're massproduced in China and they stand around there anyway, so why would taking them without paying be illegal?

Well, yes, of course, I could pay you 12000 EUR for your old overpriced car or throw a rock at your head, take it and escape the police for 12000 minutes so guess what I'm gonna do?

Man, if the music is that bad, then why are people pirating it? And if they are not pirating the bad music then your argument about music being so bad is completely invalid anyway.
If you don't like it there is an easy solution, don't freakin buy it, how the hell does that excuse stealing it? There are bad cars and noone buys them but noone steals them either.

When you get a massage, all you really get is someone's time and you pay for it in a massage salon, same for a brothel, just because you get nothing physical does not mean you can demand the service for free against the person's will, in the latter case it would be called rape.

Again, if it's not worth the money, stay away from it completely, if everybody agrees the company will go bankrupt, if you want it anyway then it can't be that bad and you should pay for it. It's quite simple.
