RE: SEND NO MONEY: The rise and fall of the Columbia House record club — and how we learned to steal music

Maybe I'm too dumb to get it, but how did getting what I considered a deal on a bunch of albums, teach people to steal?
I didn't really notice a difference in vinyl quality at that time (mid/late 70's to early 80's), prolly because my equipment was more or less mid-fi, Technics SL1200 TT, Sansui SP3500 spkrs, & Sansui amp & tuner.
Most of all, I guess we were just ignorantly, blissfully happy with what we were hearing! That, and being high most of the time.
