Finding CDs isn't hard.

I own over 2,000 of them and they range from bands and artists you can get in an HMV, and ones you'll probably never hear of.

You can get pretty much any CD you desire on the net, for cheaper too. It's your own choice whether or not you use it.

On the other hand, I've never shoplifted or stolen anything physical from a store because I think its wrong.

So what's different between pirating a CD and stealing it from a store? Technically nothing, but one still feels a-ok and one feels wrong to me.

I half agree with you, brutzer. If a person pirating something never intended to buy the product in the first place, then it will only have the possibility of benefitting the developer. But that's too sweeping a generalization to make - surely some of the people who pirate would have purchased the item legitimately if they did not have the option to steal.
Well, you don't think it's wrong because you do steal. So that's out.

My guess is that you don't do it in person because, oh I dunno, ya might be a bit scared of the police finding you, which is highly unlikely on the net.
