Illegal downloading is becoming a widely debated moral issue in today's society. With the economy falling, and the price of music rising, many people find that downloading music illegally is no longer the moral offense it once was. Teens, in particular, have no trouble stomaching the thought of stealing music from artists. In a recent blog conducted by gallup.com, it was discovered that 83% of teenagers thought that illegal downloading was morally acceptable, as opposed to just 15% of teenagers who found it wrong. In addition to illegal downloading, 5% of people in general admitted to making or buying counterfeit music product, that is music that has been rerecorded from the original copy and sold for someone other than the artist's gain. What do you think? Is illegal downloading immoral?
