What's the difference between listening to a song for free on YouTube as many times as you want, and listening to a song for free on iTunes as many times as you want?
You only have a problem with it physically being on your hard drive? But it's ok to be physically in your ram, modem and speakers?
I don't listen to the same song on YouTube over and over again, so that doesn't apply to me. I might listen to one song by a band that I don't know if I plan to buy an album by them.
I have a problem with people downloading a permanent digital copy of something and keeping it in their music collection. It's a completely different thing than listening to one song by a band in a way that grants me no agency over the recording.
