What goes around comes around - If you do what is right this time then it will come back to you, but also if you do what is wrong or morally not accepted then that will also come back to you. Do yourself a huge favour and listen to that little voice within. The world needs more good people, be one…..

If you do steal it years from now you’ll get a bill (not in relation to what you stole) asking you to pay that certain amount and you will not be able to and no one will lend you the money. it’s called karma

Ok, so we are all a bunch of saints, no one would steal, even if they could get away with it, but who here hasn’t downloaded ripped off music or software? hmmm.

I don’t know. Maybe. See, you also have to have a possibility to get the value of it. But if everyone knows that it is stolen, you can’t get rid of it without everybody knowing you stole it. So, if you can’t cash the value of it, don’t do it.

But my actual advise is not to steal it anyway.

Well, besides MP3 downloads and certain programs…Character is defined as “Do the right thing when nobody is watching”. That always worked for me. well, cept for the MP3 thing.

For you to even post this question, you have a soul that knows the answer.

That depends on “getting away with.” In the normal sense of the word, no. If there were absolutely no negative consequences, of course I would. That means that I wouldn’t be doing anything wrong since that is negative, I wouldn’t get any punishment or bad feelings, etc and I get something free. The best example of this situation would be finding a 100 bill on the sidewalk. There would really be no negative consequences to picking it up and moreover, it could help you or someone else.

Me, I haven’t downloaded/ripped off music or sotfware. This has nothing to do with me been a saint . Because I’m not. I just believe the person who thought up the idea or sang the song should get paid.

Did you know the author to ‘Les Miserables’ wrote his story through the newpaper and a publishing company took it and made the book. The man lived in poverty while his story has made millions.

‘Sound of music’ is almost the same story. Except a company felt sorry for the family and offered them a little percentage on their rendition. In they case tho it was bad choices by the mother.

My brother is a Jazz musician. He created a lot of music for a group he was with, and the managment ripped him off. He’ll never see his royalties. What made it seem worse, though, was that his one song ’spazz jazz’ was the number one downloaded jazz tune that year, and he’ll never see a cent of that either. I don’t rip off music.
