I suppose I fail to understand how stealing someone’s work is any different than a mechanic building a car and then someone walking off with it just cuz they want it and are too selfish/cheap to pay.

The fact of the matter is that it’s only acceptable as long as you’re the ones getting the free stuff. If you ever try to make anything on your own, rather than sit in a cubicle all day, you’d get the picture.

Building a car is way different than music. A car would cost a lot more, and require more work. While anyone who saved up a bit of money, and had talented friends could do music.

Plus, it may be just me, but from the way you typed your sentence you are making it out to be people are taking the work and putting it off as their own.
