Frank Answers questions you never cared about:
George S. at 16 floors above street level, Central Texas writes:
I understand downloading copyrighted music from the Internet is illegal, but is it immoral? If immoral, is it a venial sin or a mortal sin? Isn’t downloadable music really a public good, as my enjoyment of it does not lessen another person’s enjoyment of it and it is cost prohibitive to prevent folks from downloading music? I’ve got to go to confession soon, so I need to know whether this is a sin or not.
I find the best way to deal with moral issues is to not think about them; then you don’t have to worry about guilt or nothing.
Now quiet; Metallica has just started up on my playlist
