Is it stealing to download music/media for free? I know that the music industries have issued numerous lawsuits against Napster. Should I have the same attitude towards this and pay for my music the conventional way? I know many Christians have adopted this habit of downloading and have never crossed my mind if it is right. What do you think? - Tony Hum
Sometimes the line between "borrowing" and stealing is a thin one, other times not. When lawsuits are pending for unlawful use of copyrighted or patented material, alarm bells should go off in our heads. Is what we are doing ethical? It is always easier not to consider such questions. But I agree with you, Christians should.
