Speak for yourself. There are differences. If they are insignificant to you, that's fine.

While I certainly agree that the music comes first and enjoying "live" music is great and I think important, what is wrong with someone wanting to enjoy music on an exceptional system in the privacy of their own homes whenever they feel like it? As to your suggestion that some should "reevaluate" their lives and instead give to charity, how do you know that they don't "already" give to charity? No offence, but I suggest you worry about your own priorities and finances and let others worry about theirs. You have no idea what people earn and where that money goes. You are making broad, sweeping statements without any facts to back them up. Why don't you send us an itemized list of where all of your earnings go so we can pick apart all of your expenditures and tell you where we think you are wasting money? Then you can take that money and donate it to charity.
