Even ignoring the difference between taking something for personal use and taking something for commercial use (as that is a distinction that does not affect the legality of the matter) "because other people do it" is not a valid defence.

It's not a defence, I think you can see from my tone I don't support stealing media just because you don't like how it is distributed.

I'm saying rather this argument won't find much favour here unless everybody is a hypocrite.
