It's stealing, the only difference is there isn't a monetary value beyond lost profit on lost sale. It’s like there is a back door at the movie theater that everyone knows about but the theatre can’t stop people from coming in and watching the movies for free.
It has to be killing the record industry, I know several people who have drastically seriously back on the amount of money they used to spend on music because it is so easily accessible.
That being said, I can't say I'm disappointed that the music industry is getting shook up. I hope it brings down the fools that are giving us the shit top 40 music that is being forced on me everywhere I go (I don’t want to know the lyrics to Britney Spears songs but I do). Maybe if the possibility to put a band or pop act together and make a huge cash grab with little or no talent is gone, then those without the passion and need to create music will be filtered out. There's no way to stop those who need to make music, from making music - and those are people I want to hear.
