Things have changed, in the past consumers would just shop somewhere else rather than just steal the product they are dissatisfied with. Horse drawn carts were put aside for a competing product, not theft. If everyone is unhappy with the product offered, there are places to get music where the artists would be perfectly happy to let you download their music for free (www.freemusic.org). If you don't like the alternatives and must have the luxury of music, then you can either be a thief (and deal with the possible consequences), or buy the product that you want. Just because something does not come packaged the way you want it does not give everyone the right to just take it. Ok guys, flame me or not, I'm done. (Your welcome!) ;) --mike
