But now we're getting into a much more nuanced argument about the shape of society. If I, as a lone actor, hook my tape deck into the output of my radio and "steal" the newest Britney Spears track have I normalized the act of piracy?

In reality these media producers seem to be making healthy profits so perhaps internet piracy is not as normalized as you think.
