Mellencamp's position is simple: Stealing is wrong. And he is getting stolen
from, and doesn't like it, and wants it to stop, and who can blame him?

Springsteen maybe....what about Henley?
Oh that Chris Brown, what a sweetheart! Sure makes us non-beaters look bad!Quote

And that's why there is absolutely no shortage of immensely talented young
people trying to get into the music business. Like with professional athletics,
your odds of making are long but the payoff if you do make it is mind-blowing.
Chris Brown is hardly top of the heap currently, but he just bought himself
a $750,000 Lamborghini, and when he took Rihanna for a ride in it, and she
expressed her admiration for his car, he simply handed her the keys. Just gave
it to her.

"immensely talented young people" and "chris brown" should not be in the same paragraph together. Unless you want to replace "talented" with "douchebaggy".

If Mellencamp or Metallica are being robbed and want to stop it, they should be able to. Just as you should have the right to keep people from taking your stuff. Bizarre that anyone could think otherwise.

Stealing is stealing. Plain and simple. I own a business, and have been embezzled by 2 dishonest employees for over $100,000. I have had clients order product and never pay for it. It sucks. I survived, still bought a new car and went on a vacation...but did not have the money I was supposed to have. Does that make their thefts somehow better?
Robbing what you have zero right to is wrong. Posting it online so hundreds others can take it is wrong. It does not matter if the artist (or anyone else) is wealthy of not. No matter what your station is life is, someone is poorer and to them, you are wealthy. I grew up in poverty. We got by at times solely on charity for food. Did that give me the right to rob from someone else who had more than I felt they could ever use?

Stealing removes the original item. Downloading music is not stealing, the original is still there, so it more properly be called copying.

"imagine your car gets stolen, but its still there in the morning"
imagine your invention gets stolen, somebody else markets it and makes ten million,
but you still have the invention in your room, so what's the problem?
