Pre-recorded entertainment should not be sold for money when 50% of the world's population lives on less than $2.50 a day. Period. If you want to get on stage and work, that's fine, but as for the rest of the BS, those people are not artists, they're PIGS. So I'd totally encourage people to steal anything and send the price on the sticker to OXFAM instead. That's morality.
Of course, IMO Joe Average would be better off learning to play guitar for himself. Use those mind muscles, etc. vs. just living in the womb of consumer media forever and ever.
