And goods that are stolen are free. I HATE using the word "stolen", but you force me into it.

Stolen goods are only profitable to thieves.

If a commodity is continually stolen until those who produce it can no longer stay in business it will cease to be available.

That's the future of music if those of your wont prevail. The only music left will be low quality, amateurish (in the worst sense of the word) crap.
