I like to walk into the store with my eyes closed and point. Recently released DVD's? Computer games? Playstation?

As an active musician, I honestly have no problem with that, especially if it's just someone who wants to check it out. If you don't like it, you shouldn't be obligated to pay for it. I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't feel this way.

On the other hand, I am all for supporting the artist for their time and hard work. If there's a particular CD that I really like, and listen to frequently, I will buy it because it's worthy of my spending. Or, if I've already bought it, but lost it or ended up stolen... CD prices are rediculous, though.

I'd probably buy a video game. I'm actually stuck on the last level of Scarface, fun game, but I have no clue how I got past some parts with no cheats. =/

Honestly, it's massively difficult to make anything significant as a musician. There really isn't any excuse for stealing the stuff. Do the math -- union scale is $75 per hour per person. If you don't have recordings to sell, how many 3 hour gigs do you need every week to clear $25,000? Keep in mind that almost all gigs are Friday and Saturday nights, so if you need more than two a week, you're SOL. Or you're selling recordings.....which is kinda pointless if people steal them.

I got sick of spending $15 to get a CD with maybe 2 good songs on it. Of course other than the couple they play on the radio the rest of them are a crapshoot, and if you don't like it you are still stuck with it. Hence why I got dual exhaust and have had the radio on maybe half a dozen times since I picked it up 2 weeks ago.

Then DON'T BUY THE CD. Just don't steal it either. No one MAKES you listen to them.

You can never make an argument that a specific CD is a necessity. Do without, or better yet, make your own music.

There are quite a number of tracks legitimately available on the Web. Just not often by the top 40 "artists" (and I use that term loosely there). If you have to have the latest thing, pay for it.

And there is always iTunes or singles if you really must have single tracks.

There is NO EXCUSE FOR STEALING ENTERTAINMENT. It has value. If you don't believe that, MAKE YOUR OWN. Ain't so easy, is it?

a mouse, batteries, or wait and sooner or later you'll need wires for something.

I don't steal, I don't buy CD's very often and it doesn't take a genius to figure out what why people want to buy music by the song rather than by the album, and if they find a free place to get it in the meantime...

Get a music cd that has a song or two that you like. Or better yet, get a new LED 3watt Maglite. I don't know if BestBuy does sell one, but I picked up one for 25.99 and love it. Besides, it can be used to beat somebody in the head with.
