What do you think of people who download music illegally?

Haha this reminds me of an essay I did for college last year, I'm being a hypocrite for thinking its wrong to illegally download but I still do it because I don't have a job (no matter how hard I'm trying to get one) I don't think it's fair on the artists who've worked hard to get where they are and not get paid for it, I think buying music should still be done via shops like HMV or they would go bust. If you get what I mean. :)
