Q: Is it wrong to download music you haven't paid for?
A: Yes!
Q: Ok, what if I download it but never listen to it?
A: Well, er, yes, it's still wrong.
Q: Why?
A: Because you haven't paid for it!
<pause>
Q: Okay, so is it wrong to listen to a song I haven't paid for?
A: Of course not.
Q: What if I listen to it on the internet when I haven't paid for it?
A: Well, er, is it on YouTube or something?
Q: I don't know. Is it?
A: Well if it's on YouTube then it's okay.
Q: But the artist usually didn't upload it.
A: But they have ads on it! Or something.
Q: Okay, putting that aside, what if it's not YouTube.
A: Well that's not okay.
Q: So YouTube is the only legitimate free source of listening to music on the internet?
A: Well I don't know.
Q: And do you realize that when you "listen" to something on the internet, you are also "downloading" it, or you wouldn't be able to hear it?
A: You're confusing the issue!
Q: That's funny, I'm trying to clarify it.
A: You are a bad man.
Q: Yes, yes I am. Apparently.
