Where do you steal your music?
I assuage my guilt by using a credit card and buying music from allofmp3.com which, BTW is a great fucking website if you are comfortable with the Russian Republic's royalty rates. It's still a rip-off if you think the "old laws" apply. I am an anomoly, though: I don't buy new music at all, ever. It will take me another 10 years to "re-buy" all the music I used to have, and I am happy to have the opportunity. Jesus, I just watched the "Live Aid" DVD last night and saw massive gaps in my jukebox. But tell us where you get your tunes and don't worry about it. There is no harm in opening the door, right?

Well, I suppose if you get caught at it you won't face nearly the fines or jailtime as if you were caught sharing online.
