I don't rationalize stealing music, I happily do it with no qualms. When the risk is such that it is detrimental to me, then I will stop downloading from allofmp3.com until then I willfully and with good conscience will continue to do so.
I just can't support $1 per downlaod of lossy data nor can I support $15 per CD of what I consider disposable music regardless of the fact that it is legal. ALLof MP3 and mp3search have the right cost to match the product even though it is considered "pirated". I just bought a CD of Classical music from Amazon for $5 which I thought was priced right too.
If ALL music CD's were priced @ $5, I would actually buy the CD and not even bother with downloading data. If my hard drive crashes and I don't have my music backed up then it is all lost. I would bet that 75% of digital music downloaders don't have a back up of their music. Imagine their grief when their DAP or HD crashes and their library is lost.
