It depends! If the chioce is between having your money stolen, or stealing someone else's, might as well save some money.... |
I think the OP is overreacting. I've had the same thing happen to me in iTunes and the songs were never double-charged to me. Apple probably cancels the original purchase without the user agreement in place.

It really is with music. Its either they steal from you or you steal from them. If you want to support the artists, go see them in concert. That is where they make their money.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Yeah, but one of the few things I hate more than people is people in large numbers.

People are people
So why should it be
You and I shouldn't get along
People are people

You should hate me
People are people
So why should it be
You and I shouldn't get along
People are people

You should hate me
These are more or less your thoughts?

My thoughts exactly. People suck. That's why I try to limit my contact with them to the intertubes.

As much as I despise the record companies and the RIAA, taking something that isn't yours is still wrong. As much as they do wrong, they still promote the artists (yes, the ones they see fit to promote but that's another argument) and do many things to get music out there in the public eye.
They deserve their due, just like everyone else. On top of that, music is now available cheaply & DRM-free and you don't even have to buy an entire album any more. You can buy albums/songs from the artists themselves or from a myriad of digital or brick-and-mortar stores. There are more options for music fans than ever before. Sure, the RIAA has fought this at every step, but they've lost. The consumer has won.
Ten years ago, pirates said that they stole music because it wasn't available digitally. That changed. Five years ago, pirates said they stole music because it was chock full of DRM. That changed. Now, they claim to pirate because of the evilness (puts pinky to mouth) of the record companies and RIAA.
Just admit that you don't like paying for stuff and move on. There's no valid excuse not to pay for your music nowadays.
