If we would have purchased the CD if no other option was available, you are right. If we would not, then no, we are not taking anything out of anyone's pockets.
I listen to pandora quite a bit, and if I hear a song I like, I'll download it. I'm not going to go purchase a CD to get that song, so the artist isn't out anything. If I like enough of their music, I'll buy the CD, so in essence, by doing what I'm doing it's more likely I'll purchase a CD at some point.

I was not referring to those sites which promote the free downloads. My point was aimed at those who want to borrow someone
else's CD to copy so they can save a few bucks.
It's tacky, illegal, and I repeat, it's taking money out of the pockets of those who have invested much into the project.
