I’ve always felt that folks that were pirating mp3s back in the day were pretty much doing it because A) There was no other way to get mp3s yet and B) File sharing was new awesome technology at the time.

Today its easier to buy then it is to pirate thanks to iTunes and Amazon’s mp3 store, etc. When it comes right down to it, people do what’s easiest and fastest.
