In this case if someone would have not paid for the music in the first place, then the record company nor anyone else has not lost any money, or anything for that matter, because the person that downloaded the music was not intending to spend any money on the music in the first place. No loss of anything has occurred.

When downloading music you are also not permanently taking anything away from anyone, you are just getting a copy. Everyone else still has their version including the record companies. So no-one has robbed anyone of anything because they still have their music.

Whats to say I could invent a supercomputer and get it to generate all the possible combinations of 1's and 0's to make every imaginable piece of music ever possible. Who says they can then copyright one of those combinations.

Yeah iTunes, Amplifier.co.nz (been up for a while) will let you purchase music for download, much rather spend the extra on the CD myself though.
