wow, your grasp of basic intellectual property law and digital rights management under whelms me.
 
guess what?  you're wrong.  programs like Morepheus, when they're used to "share" copyrighted material are ILLEGAL - do you remember a little thing called Napster?  it made page 39484848 in a few local papers a while back.
 
Guess what?  borrowing a copyrighted cd is fine because the license was purchased for a SINGLE copy of it when the cd was purchased.  if you COPY it and then loan it to a friend, ILLEGAL.
 
Is this concept seriously this difficult to grasp, or are you idiots just trying to make yourselves feel better for stealing?  I mean, if you can sleep better at night knowing you did everything you could to convince yourself that your behavior somehow isn't wrong, then go for it.

On a program like Morpheus.......it is not stealing.  It is peer to peer music sharing. Is there anything wrong with that? Kinda like borrowing a cd from a friend. Right?

what kind of stupid question is that, anyway?   It doesn't matter if it's wrong because it's illegal.

i didn't really know that some people feel so strongly about burning cd's and the belief that it's stealing........so what about dl'ing music and compiling a cd that way.........my brother got the entire weathered cd on the internet somehow before it was even released.............is that wrong too?
