Hardly a justification. Being the owner of something means you can not
only set the price, but also decide whether to sell or not. If I
decide to steal a car, the fact that the owner hadn't put it on the
market doesn't change the fact that I've just taken a car that isn't
mine. There are many compelling arguments for distinguishing file
sharing from theft, but this is not one of them. Also, simply being
out of print (thought they had a different term) doens't mean out of
circulation - old record stores, individual collectors, E*bay offer a
few of the avenues for obtaining hard-to-find music.
