Well, look at typical music industry practice in dealing with musicians. Most 
of the time, the creative talent gets ripped off (not paid) by the record 
company. Then by the above rule, buying a "legitimate record company" CD is 
"accepting stolen goods". So there is no morally correct way to hear "music 
industry product" recordings. Maybe everyone should go back to making their 
own music, live, at least until the RIAA cartel withers away. Or at least 
keeps the ownership of the recordings out of the hands of those crooks.

OK, OK, mostly off-topic, but not completely...
