Excuses for stealing music as varied as the artists (London Free Press)
MS: "Come on, people, it's 99 cents! Plus, this generation has unprecedented access to money -- debit cards, credit cards, you name it, they've got it. And they sit there and say a buck is too much when they've wearing $100 sneakers and holding a $4 mochaccino. Don't tell me it's too expensive. It's never been cheaper to buy music."

MS: When we ended in '98, we hated each other," William Reid says. "A lot of that was down to drink and drugs. Jim's completely sober now, and I don't drink during the shows. But there is a kind of wariness. We're both aware that we could snap at each other," he said with a laugh, "but we're trying to hold it together. We love this band, and we love each other."
Five Ways to Share Music Without Getting Sued (Washington Post)
MS: We do have a few caveats, of course. In most cases you are limited to streaming music to your PC or handset, not downloading it. A couple of sites permit you to upload your own tunes for others to enjoy, but they don't work with DRM-protected music.

But music you purchased from the iTunes store--or ripped from a CD using the iTunes software? No can do.
