If you refer to my statement regarding the 'stealing' of music
by people who could not have afforded buying the CD and that no
harm is done here i.e. no loss of revenue, well I still stick to
that.

Was it my mistake that a no point my post contained the canonical
form of the "Stealing is wrong" group mantra?

FYI, It is not correct for you to assume that "Stealing is Wrong" is
either a group mantra or canon. You would be better served to realize
that many *individuals* can see something as wrong without being
canonical or mantra-like, or in any way acting as a group. My
experience with R.A.P. has shown me that the "Stealing is wrong"
opinion has grown steadily, person by person, over time, and has never
been a requirement to post on or be a part of this group. What you see
as canon may simply be an overwhelming chorus of individual voices.

PS - stealing is wrong (my opinion) - and it is the ONLY way to
absolutely assure that the artists don't make a dime.
