That analogy is completely wrong.

One is a piece of artwork that someone creates that is put into a museum for people to view for free.
No, museum costs money. I went to MOCCA and it costed $13 for the entrance fee.

The other is music that someone creates, puts on a CD, and sells. If you walk into a music store, pick up a CD, and leave without paying for it, then it's illegal. The same is said for the internet. You're obtaining music files illegally without paying for them, essentially STEALING their music. And not just that, but typically when you download something, it goes into a Shared folder, so other people can upload it. So not only are you stealing the music, you're distributing it to other people. And btw, art CAN be stolen. The definition of "steal:"
So what if we "steal" music? Music is so over priced that I would rather steal if than have to pay $14 for 30 minutes worth of sound. The only bands that are against illegal downloading are poopty corperate whores who might have originally gone into this to make music but the greed of the millions of dollars have overpowered them.

You've got your eminems, and your Dr. Dres, your metalllicas and your 50 cents who all are against illegal downloading. All these names have something in common, they're all filthy fliping rich. And, their music isn't even that good.
