Selling music you didn't make.

One may say that a compilation CD is all about musicians swapping music, but it's not swapping if you're selling them. By copying these songs, you're ripping off artists.
You'd think nine bucks would be a good price, except when the person selling it to you downloaded songs off the internet for free. Do you think this is wrong? I do. They're stealing someone else's music, taking something that doesn't belong to them. It's the same as breaking into a record store and stealing a CD.
Many musicians make their livings off the sales, they spent a lot of time and money to make their product, hell, some of them aren't even trying to sell their work, they just want others to enjoy it for free, and it's not right for someone to steal their music from the net and sell it for their own personal gain. Not only is it wrong, but it's also a copyright violation, and a federal crime. I wish some people would think before doing something so stupid.

What can ya do but report them and hope for the best? I'm just an aspiring musician but i would be angry if it happened to me :I

I've had somebody tell me this is okay but it's bullshit. This is like Ebaum's world back in the early 2000s and, nowadays, stuff like buzzfeed or 9gag or whatever.
