If I stole someone's car, and an exact copy of the car was left there for them, I'd probably be okay with stealing a car. Copying a file isn't the same as stealing a physical album. That's the criticism of that ad campaign, they aren't equal comparisons. Besides, if buying isn't owning, then copying isn't stealing.

Like I said, you're welcome to talk about it being an invalid comparison, but the advert did not state you wouldn't download a car.

We're aware of that. People didn't steal albums either.

Well, maybe you didn't. My CD case that someone stole out of my parent's convertible would like to disagree.

Funny enough, most of those discs were burned with content of dubious legality.
