Illegal vs. overpriced?

When it’s against the law, is it right or wrong? We know that it only costs little to produce a CD or DVD and the rest of the money is profit for the shop selling it, so does that make it right or wrong to download these things for free, when the shops are selling them for really high prices. Other countries pay much less for their CD’s and downloads than we do, so do you think it’s right or wrong to download them for free whether it’s every time you download or just occasionally. I’m in a total moral split about this one because on one hand the shops are overpricing but on the other hand isn’t it stealing?


This site suggests piracy is the same as stealing the product from a store, perhaps it just seems different because the store is virtual and the customer feels invisible:
