I have to get this out of the way...

Oh, sorry if I download songs, I am just a poor student :-[

That's a cop out. Be accountable for what you do. If you download music, you're violating copyright. Don't try to excuse it by saying "Oh, poor me, I don't have money to buy it." You don't get to go to the store and get the big screen TV if you don't have the money, either. Either say "Yes, I download music; Blow me if you don't like it" or "I don't download music as I feel it is morally corrupt".

I'm not saying I approve of or disapprove of downloading music. I've just had enough of the BS excuse that somehow you deserve music whether or not you can actually afford it, all the while washing your hands of guilt with the "starving student" spiel.
