And then they'll be complaining later that illegal downloads have
increased.
If you had any moral qualms about downloading, this action should remove
them.

An intriguing point of view - can you explain why? I'd quite like a Porsche
Boxster, but don't want to pay £31,450 for it - after all, there can't be
more than a couple of grand's worth of materials in it - would it be OK to
steal one of those, too?

I'm not saying that the BPI approach is right, but CDs are luxury goods, and
so, presumably, there is an least an element of "opportunity pricing." They
can't really have a "value for money" as you're buying something intangible
(although I think they're cheap compared with concerts, trips to the cinema,
days out, etc.).

Surely the approach of most right-thinking people who don't want to pay for
luxury goods would be to go without, rather than to steal?
