Seeing as though this is our last round, I will not present any new evidence since the Instigator will not be able to respond. I will simply rebut a few of his points here. "...I would not say pirating music is like saying I should rob a bank..." I didn't say it's as if you should, I was comparing the two. Saying pirating music is acceptable because now artists and everyone involved makes more money due to an additional medium to purchase music is like saying it should be acceptable to rob banks because they make more money than gas stations. "So pirating the music is like a preview of what I get." An illegal preview. If an artist previews their music on MySpace or another site, that's fine. Preview it. However, pirating music is illegal and if the artist doesn't want you to preview the music before you buy it, you have no right to. After all, that's what singles on the radio are for, to give you a taste of what's actually on the album. "While my specif [sic] analogies of the American Revolution and slavery may not have been acceptable in the eyes of my opponent, the idea still stands..." It's not just unacceptable in my eyes, it's unacceptable, period. Stealing (pirating) is not a human right. Living free is. That's what the end of slavery and the American Revolution were about. "These non-pirateable materials will always be a source of revenue for bands as they can not be pirated." Oh no? People sneak into concerts. That has the same effect as pirating music. T-shirts and other memorabilia can be stolen. That has the same effect as pirating music. "I would like to make the argument once more that piracy is not equivalent to theft." I have already shown that it is. "Prices of general goods are inflated because of shoplifting for example, because the producer has to reproduce what was taken so it can be resold." Yet the Instigator did not provide a link to back this up. I don't think this is true. Prices rise due to inflation because of supply and demand. I've never known any prices to inflate due to theft. Again, I thank the Instigator for this argument, and you, the reader, for carefully considering the evidence and logic supplied here. I don't have to tell you how to vote.
