This reminds me when, years ago, my friend bought his first CD burner. He started to borrow CDs from our favourite pub and copy them...lots of them. Then, he made an easy calculation, 'If I had bought all those records, it would have costed me much more than the cost of the burner so...I am already earning money !!'. Of course the trick was that he would have never bought even a 10% of those records in a shop.
The other trick is that he would never have stolen the intellectual property he stole if he hadn't had the burner.
