One of my more recently acquired hobbies is stealing from bookstores.
I don't actually remove anything physically from the store. I just read books without paying for them.
The hysterical messages they have been putting at the beginning of most DVDs I rent lately (You Wouldn't Steal a Car!!!!) still get me feeling guilty about using copyrighted material without paying for it.
It makes it harder for me to enjoy my other clandestine and subversive media use: reading books from the library, listening to the radio, watching broadcast TV, borrowing movies from the library, and listening to my old record albums I paid a dollar for.
