We are a capitalist society (thank God) and these things are often stolen property. It is the same as if I came to your house, stole things from it, and then took them to a big clearinghouse where we all "just shared the love, man."

Put yourself in the artists' place. What if you sweat and toiled over a novel, only to have it stolen and given away for free? There goes your ticket out of the cubicle forest.

Or if you wrote a great piece of software, but before you could market it, somebody copied it and turned it into "freeware."

Sure, the "big, bad" ( ) record companies probably have the most to gain or lose, but when they lose, it gets passed on to the artist.
