Sorry about that. It didn't meant to be a 'piracy vindication' but only the 10% reasoning, which I have seen that is the same estimation that you make in another post.
As a side note, I have never considered to copy a friend's record from time to time (or let him/her this record) as a stealig act. But I am not talking, of course, about buying copied CDs to street sellers (which I've never done BTW) or the massive use of peer to peer programs. But maybe this is, again, a cultural issue.
