You're using the RIAA as a mode of how to be successful and happy?

It's not stealing since you're still getting paid. It's just that the more hours over 40 (or whatever you expected), the lower your hourly pay goes. If you feel like you're working more hours than you agreed to, bring it up with HR or your boss or whatever. They should either lower your hours or increase your pay. If they won't do either, you should find a better job. Life is too short to feel cheated every day at work.

Its not stealing because the music label is still being paid. I bought 1 CD from Sony and copied 9 others. Its just that their price per CD is lower.

Well, if you're working 400 hours a week and only getting paid for 40, you've got serious problems.

If you're getting fixed compensation, make sure you know the expected hours before you accept the offer. If they ask you to work more than that, renegotiate or refuse. If you're getting paid by the hour, then you're being compensated so no worries. Don't be afraid of the labor market - it's good times right now.
