Nothing wrong with digimon :P
Anyway, downloading music does not fall into the definition of "stealing"...it's illegal, but it can't actually be called stealing. There's a better word, but I'm too lazy to look it up.
Anyway, music downloads do not harm the music industry. They are being used as a cheap scapegoat to explain away a slow and steady drop in sales that began long before file sharing even began.
People who download music almost always either still buy just as much or wouldn't buy any music anywa, kinda like me, since I've never bought any CD and possibly never will. I'm just not real big into music, and I start to dislike any song I hear more than a couple times a year. When I do download an MP3 it's some rare obscure TV/movie theme and I listen to it only a couple times before growing bored and deleting it. Is that any different from, say, borrowing a friend's CD for a while?
And yes, if there is a "problem" it's that music is unreasonably expensive. Technically a whole CD is worth less than a dollar no matter WHAT is on it, as they cost only pennies to mass produce.
