There is a recent article from the Age.com written by Michael Coulter entitled: A word to the stealing generations Downloading music is wrong - even if it's from rich bands such as AC/DC.
While I don't agree with his statement that piracy will make the entertainment industry unviable. I do like the way he describes why you should value music and why it is immoral
Internet piracy, & Illegal file sharing is not a subject that I have touched on much. While I don't like the way the RIAA has handled this situation and while I don't think that suing your customers is a good idea, I do (of course) believe that you should purchase your music legally and only through legal download services that compensate the artist.
This is a complicated subject with a lot of misconceptions that I think I will be writing about more in the future.
