I was feel rather resentful that I'm being taxed for illegally copying 
stuff when in actual fact the reason I wanted the thing was so that I 
could record performances of my own music which I therefore own the 
copyright to. I'm paying the music industry so that I can record my own 
music! WTF?

And besides, if you write some text on your webpage, you don't have to 
pay a tax to the paper print industry that you're "driving out of 
business", so why is the music industry so special? :-P
