I don't listen to much music but I do DL stuff like TV shows and anime (never downloaded a movie though I support my local library!). I simply find his argument irrational, especially when there are so many perfectly good reasons to steal stuff like (even especially) music.

I can't tell if you noticed my post was HUGE sarcasm. I have this thing where I don't like to illegally download things.
If there's some obscure anime episode that I cannot find, I'll look for it on a torrent. However, that's just about it. Oh, and, I download the stuff that Dattebayo does...but the illegality (is that a word? lol) of downloading a fansub before it's released on DVD is questionable. It's a gray area that, so far, has fallen under "artistic expression" or some shit.

not to sound glib, but aren't you a marijuana user?
why does the legality of something mean anything to you in this instance?

We've been over this already. Do a search for "imbibe" under the username "dadudemon". See what you get. It will take you 10 seconds, honest.

I don't understand the question or the context of the question.

I made the assumption because we had talked about it in the past, just making sure really

well, both are illegal, yet that doesn't stop you from doing one.
I'd understand someone making the "legally gray" argument if they never drank before they were 19, always wore a seat-belt, never failed to indicate a turn, etc.
The fact that someone can use an illegal drug, and justify that behaviour, yet not do something else because of the legal considerations, doesn't make sense to me really.

AHA!
So you did use the search feature...didn't you?
If not, what did you assume my post meant?
And, also, does my absurdly good memory creep you out...just a little?

I am unsure what you're referring to.
Define "both."

I don't understand this context, either.

I am not playing dumb. I just don't understand, bro. I have assumptions, but we all know that out of 6 plausible assumptions, I'll sometimes choose the wrong one.
I think the first thing you need to do is do the search I recommended. If you don't know how to use the search feature (understandable), then let me know and I'll point you to it. That will probably change your posts and we'll have a different conversation, if I am assuming correctly on where you're coming from.
There's nothing really wrong with marijuana. Alcohol and tobacco do more damage than marijuana.
Marijuana does less damage to your health than tobacco, and it's effects are less aggressive than alcohol.
Most people under extreme influences of alcohol will try to do rational and stupid things. People who are high still have their sense of conscience, rather they are more 'chilled out' and relaxed. A high individual will almost never do something rational.
There hasn't been a single occurance of someone dying from over abuse of marijuana. There have been countless deaths of over consuming alcohol.
Yet still, it's illegal. In my opinion, it's illegal so that the tobacco and alcohol market could be more profitable. If marijuana was to be made mass produced and sold, the demand of tobacco and alcohol would lower.
So, not all things that are illegal are 'bad' or 'wrong.'
If I had the ability to download illegal music for free and not get caught, I'm going to go ahead and download illegal music. It's as simple as that. Why pay money when you can get the same songs for free? Me downloading the songs individually would be like taking away the profit of the author of the song by less then half a dollar?

If you enjoy something you should purchase it whenever you can. If you don't (and don't pretend you think you're the only person who steals it) the product's quality will decrease. It's hardly a moral issue, though a there are plenty of moral reasons not to download things illegally.
This is the difference between "self interest" and "enlightened self interest".

No, I didn't.
However, I did have a couple of avatars that were people smoking it.
I might have even had something in my sig, at one point.
Anyway, I've posted twice, I think, that I don't smoke MJ beacuse it is illegal.

Why?
They destroyed a woman's life just because some big ass company wants more money and a corrupted Judge felt like it.
Disgusting.....on a whole new level.
Screw all of them, I was recording on tapes wayyy before this piracy crap turned up a notch and CDs/DVDs came into play.
When they started all of that crap I still wasnt buying DVDs or CDs, I would record it from TV and radio.
Either way I got it for free, so they can blow me.
