However to USE the program, that is a different story. To download files that would by any other means have to be purchased is illegal and immoral.
And if you are prosecuted for it, we aren't talking the itunes $0.99 a song fee.
Thousands of dollars per song.
By purchasing music at a store you are.
-Placing more money into the pockets of the artist and label, which if you like the music, I don't see why you can't do that.
-Funding the store, allowing it to stay open so others can buy music as well.
-Keeping yourself away from potential lawsuits
-Removing another freeloading bastard from the internet.
