Again, not stealing. If something is not missing from where it was before, nothing was stolen. It's the law.
Second, not even close to a valid comparison. A more apt comparison was if you went to see some sport you had never heard of, which might or not be hockey, and it might or might not be of NHL quality. If you wouldn't know if it was NHL hockey or amateur syncronized swimming, surely you would at least like a sample before paying?
Also, you're comparing a live experience with a digital one. Listening to an album is like watching it on TV, and we do the latter for free all the time. (Well, those who actually still watch TV.)
Also, Flames hockey is generally accepted as the best hockey in town and it's an old, established brand. It's like a new Iron Maiden album, you pretty much know what you're getting.
I could go on. Just a bad comparison.
