There are two fine, and otherwise equal, Yidden. One spent his entire life being careful to only purchase the music he listened to. When he traveled he either took along the CDs he purchased or avoided music. At home, too he spent the extra dollars, despite his meager income, on always buying music products for his family. Despite the extra costs, hassles, and times he couldn’t have music when travelling, he was always happy to serve Hashem.

The second fine Yid lived a righteous life almost the same way as the first. The only notable difference was that he happily copied music from his friends and from illegal download sites and file sharing. He had his Yaajov Shwekey and MBD at home, work and away. If Benny Friedman & Miami Boys’ Choir was available for download, Benny Friedman & Miami Boys’ Choir was the music he put on the family stereo system.

Will the first Yid get any more Olam Haba than the second for having been careful to only purchase his music and not sponge off of someone else’s hard work, time and money?
