Well, maybe there is a start: you actually think I am pissed. Believe me, there are far bigger things to be concerned about and a discussion on the internet isn't one of them.
Now, just for argument's sake, you said that you liked the new VH but openly said that you didn't buy it. Not brain surgery there, you stole it. It was for sale and available yet you chose not to pay for it. That is what we call stealing.
You made the comment that "some of us can't buy everything we want." I argue that if you have the money to see as many concerts that you do, plus all the gas, food and lodging included, you yave a poor arguement there. After all, you were the one who showed off a pretty freaky tattoo that you claimed took hours. Don't know for sure but I will bet you anything that you actually paid the person for their hard work. Think albums come from the sky? Nobody makes livings off of them as musicians, producers, tech, etc.? Still, claim that "you don't get it?" You are a thief in that you stole someone's hard work for your own personal enjoyment. Is that clear enough?
Am I butt-hurt (always loved that JD expression) that you stole from VH? It was a clear case of theft but I'd actually be upset had you done that to Priest. Here we have HR buying multiple copies to make up for people who don't pay. Might not hurt a bigger band but, as KK even says, it makes things VERY tough for new bands nowadays. Yes, including MRH which, I assume, you actually purchase. Why bother paying when you can download just about every album for free? You are obviously not destitute. Why pay for them?
