As I sit here (on somebody elses net connection) hungry because I actually cannot buy food and having to contemplate homelessness, I find that statement so insulting. It's not bull****e and she might know more about her situation than you do.
I also had a download of SYW but then bought it. Downloading is not stealing by the way. Stealing is the removal of a copy, eliminating the potential of its sale. Downloading is not removing it but making a replica. Anyway, that's another debate. I can currently download the occasional song which seems like a good option when I can't afford to eat. I don't give a f*ck if Stevie Nicks doesn't get the extra dollar. I don't give a f*ck if Lindsey doesn't get it, and you all know how highly I think of him. The point was that your comment is insulting to somebody who has recently but reluctantly resorted to accpeting donations so as to keep from going hungry.
So what happened to our marriage? That would solve everything. We could buy multiple copies of SYW. You could fly us both halfway, we could even meet my mother in London for Christmas. Ah yes, so romantic. And with that fantasy in mind, I'm about to go and eat a piece of week old bread for dinner.

First of all, how the hell do you know what I know or have experienced? For your information Miss know it all, I have flown halfway across the world more than once to do charity work for people who live in mud huts. I have brought them school supplies, medicines, etc. So, please do not hand me your opinion of what you erroneously think I know.
Next - Amber has often talked about little items that she clearly could have done without for two months or even a few weeks to get this record. But she did not. Instead, she chose to get it for free with little care or regard for whom it could hurt however so slightly. While clearly FM and Warner's can afford this, that does not make it right. The record industry loses millions a year because of theft (and that is what this is) and people therefore lose jobs. But, if you or anyone else is okay with that - so be it, but I think it is utter bullsh*& to call it anything but stealing
Again, I do not think any of us would feel the same way if someone stole from us. But and alas, there is the hypocrisy of man.
P.S. I still adore you
