Yeah, I download music. If I like 10 out of 13 songs I download and all happen to be from a particular album (like Savage Garden's "Affirmation"), then I'll go and buy the CD (which I did). If I only like a song or two, forget it. I don't have money to spend like that. If however I'm going to make a video using music that I can't find a decent quality version online of, I'll go out and buy it as well. Not to mention that half the music I listen to you couldn't find in a music store (an American music store anyway).
Do I think it's wrong? No. You could just as easily record music off the radio onto a tape, or off MTV/VH1/Fuse onto a VHS/DVD. It's the same thing. Do I think it's wrong to download every song off say, Evanescence's "Fallen" CD, and burn it to a CD? Yes, yes I do.
I also used to download anime, but I lack the patience to do that anymore on dialup. When I did I'd only do it to see if I liked it. However, I have no problem with that either, because in Japan they get to see it on TV anyway, and the same principle applies. If it's an OVA though, I think it's wrong.
Not to mention that I think the RIAA is a group of dirty robbing money hungry bastards that lack the poor hygene.
