Sure, white people should just go into the store and steal the music CD like Negoes do.

I think that while your hierarchy was accurate in the early stages of music piracy, things are shifting. You are seen as something akin to wasteful if you have invested your money into an actual physical collection of recorded music. Now, among people on both sides of this argument, the vinyl fans are seen as the elite. Among the pirates, it’s the negative type of elite, those who see themselves as better than everyone else. Among those with tape and CD collections, those with collections almost entirely in vinyl are seen as the elite in the Wayne’s World sense of “We’re not worthy!” But it really has come to the point where there are two separate schools of music collections. Those who pirate music act as if they are doing something socially aware, as if they’ve stumbled upon some moral secret, while those who collect recorded music may also feel morally superior for doing something “legal,” for not pretending about who is benefiting from their behavior, or any other number of excuses for not pirating their favorite songs.

These threads are usually bang on or very near the truth – but this one couldn’t be more inaccurate.

Surely your liberal left middle class metro types are the one segment of people below 50 who don’t indulge in music piracy.

Because they’re so concerned about “the damage it’s doing to the emerging generation of musical creativity” or some such crap.

These people are the people who actually bother with stuff like ‘Spotify’ – I don’t know who else keeps it going.

Yes unusually wide of the mark this one…

If we should ever ignore our conscience and steal music, we will always have the guilty reminder on our hard drives: the virus. The consequence for sin. I should know.

Wow, this accurately depicted every single word I would say if someone asked me about music piracy. It sort of makes me uncomfortable at how predictable I am as a white stereotype.

That would be a $1.29 now hon. I could actually afford 99 cents…

White people with Apple products don’t like music piracy, they are pleased to know they spend .99 on every song on iTunes.
