Point out where I was against "Try before you buy"?
some of us like to "Try before we Buy"!!! You may not have that same concept, but if you have a radio, you are guilty!

That is a legal way of trying before you buy and it is the way that 99.9% of music purchasing decisions were made before illegal file sharing became the rage. You also took the advice of friends. Nowadays, you can listen to samples on almost every single online store I've been to. You can walk into nearly any brick and mortar music store, pick any CD off the shelf, and ask to listen to it (and if you can't, find a different store that allows this). There are so many ways of legally trying before you buy that using this as justification for theft is truly weak and pathetic indeed.
