More and more young people in the UK are downloading their music illegally. See if their reasoning about WHY they do this matches your reasoning.

"More than a quarter of young people in the UK are prepared to illegally download music and films because they distrust the entertainment industry, according to research.
A survey by PR group Edelman found that 41% of 18- to 34-year-olds do not trust the entertainment industry to provide value for money, and 34% do not trust companies to respect the rights of those who do pay for digital content.
The research found that 27% of young people have already downloaded content illegally or would do so.
Resentment over the perceived high cost of digital services and usability problems, such as incompatible formats - for example iPod users only being able to play music downloaded from Apple's iTunes - has contributed to this distrust."
