New Agree and disagree.
I have nearly 800 CDs. I have about 300 "current" music and 500 Classical/Opera/Orchestral/etc CDs too.

So, paying for "none of it in any form", I call BS

I also have about 300 DVDs and VHS tapes. so as far as stealing those... ba-ba-ba-bah.

New I wasn't including you (or Bill). Please read it again. :-)
I'm sure we've all seen kids who seem to enjoy getting as much as they can without having to work for or pay for it. Those are the people I was talking about. Not people who have bought 3 copies of "Dark Side of the Moon" over the years and want one on an iPod, too. Not people who get a few songs from friends.

"Legally" there may not be much difference between those groups, at least if we believe the RIAA's interpretation. I think Fair Use should come into play far more often than the RIAA does, but if someone has paid for almost none of their collection, then something's wrong.

Just my $0.02.

Cheers,
Scott.
