My taste in music wouldn't be what it is now if I was some moralf'ag who actually felt that artists and actors deserve every bit of money they get. Nobody here can afford to pay thousands of dollars for thousands of songs, and if you could, why on earth would you?
To note, mp3s and ipods are built to hold thousands of hours of music, which is pretty much acknowledging that nearly everyone purchasing one has access to large volumes of music. Considering their consumer base is generally teens/young adults, 99.9% of whom do not have the money required to purchase said large volumes, nor would even the most popular of them have enough friends pooled together for them to all share music and fill said ipod (same goes for video, to a slightly lesser extent), they pretty much acknowledge "Here, extra space to store your ill-gotten gains." Giving something with even 20 gigs of storage is just begging for people to put something illegal on it just to feel like they aren't wasting that space.
