Actually, I have something like 2500 MP3s. Most of which I burned myself from CDs I own. I own a few hundred CDs. I have a portable MP3 player and a car MP3 player which, as the name implies, require MP3s. When I hit IRC, I am looking for something that isn't released yet. Like the new Eminem CD. I wanted to hear it. I downloaded it. I put it on my MP3 player to listen to while I run. The album was okay, not great but still worth the money. Incidentally, I purchased the CD yesterday afternoon at the same time I purchased Medal of Honor for the PC. I do have MP3s of a few songs that I do not own the CD. Those are strictly out of print items that I am constantly scouring Ebay for or were never released on an album. Chances are if the MP3s I hear are good, I buy the CD. If they suck, I delete the MP3. Can you not even swing $12-$16 for a damned CD? If not, that is just pathetic.
Anyway, don't try to justify theft by saying "everyone does it" because everyone clearly does not do it.
