Somewhat OT: Theft isn't ok. Neither is the record business. The licensing models they use are positively disgusting and pretty much ensure most artists won't make a dime. The RIAA are a bunch of idiots as are the MPAA. Perhaps theft wouldn't be a problem if they marketed the content properly in forms consumers wanted with reasonable pricing? The gravy train is over and the world has changed. Their members are actually gonna have to start WORKING for the paychecks now.

Seriously, I'm astonished the RIAA and MPAA haven't embraced digital delivery with open arms. Here you cut EVERYONE ELSE out of the distribution chain. You're selling directly to the end user a product which has no physical manufacturing or distribution costs. For as many people download songs, many more wouldn't know how to download an MP3 if ya paid 'em, much less how to get it onto a mobile device or CD.

So price the crap cheap enough to where DRM isn't necessary. Include things you can't get when downloading a ripped version of a song (alternate takes, liner notes, whatever). Give people an incentive to use it. Let 'em copy it freely; sell it cheaply enough where no one will care about getting a copy. That nasty declining music sales issue will likely turn itself around in a big hurry.
