*weight lifted off* lol  

I just thought of something O.o

...How is it any different if we download things (from the internet) for free than if we go to our local libraries to get it for free?

...O_O.......

>_>....

LOL

Edit:
SOLUTION!! lol

(copied from a reply): I got some good answers when I asked other people about this. From what I understand, it's basically that because what you borrow from the library or a friend is under the friend or library's control of when to return it, and not your own of when to 'delete' it. Even if you may end up buying product later, if it's under your control, then there is no definite time when you have to delete it, therefore making it different with a library or a friend. ^^;

Sorry, I was just *very* confused. >__>

It really isn't. But libraries are county funded and all so I guess that makes it more "right" in society's eyes. Also, libraries pay for their material and you only get it for a limited time.

True, but it's still only "one person paying for it" and just "sharing the wealth"/knowledge later on, you know?
And you can check things out for as many times you want. ^^;

interesting note:

my local library has the entire collection of the tv show Farscape on DVD (and many other popular or indie movies) on loan for free, for like half a month. c.c

Yeah, I'm not saying don't buy stuff that's important to you. Having that different "feeling" is when that thing becomes important enough for you to buy. :D
