Of course one could argue that ethnically it may be right to steal under certain conditions. Maybe in the case of the "Fair Use" part of the copyright to use the music for a school project or a parody.
If it falls under Fair Use it is not stealing. Saying "sometimes stealing is OK" is accepting the RIAA's position that all use that doesn't involve paying them is stealing.

Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.

I hadn't thought about that.

Using the song under "Fair Use" is not stealing.

Could Norm have been suggesting that theft may be excused or not depending on the ethnicity of the offender? Inquiring minds want to know.

There are perhaps no more tragic creatures than middle-aged, middle-class tourists, unused to traveling in unfamiliar places, on a lifetime dream vacation.
