Many or most people, who would never steal any tangible object from a store, believe it is not violating ethics or the law to download copyrighted material from the Internet, such as songs or books, without paying for it. Is downloading considered stealing, especially when there is virtually no chance of ever "getting caught" and "everybody does it"? In this podcast, this question will be discussed from a Jewish perspective based on ancient sources as well as contemporary Rabbis.
