Seriously. There are no legal notices on CD's that say, "Not for external distribution blah blah blah" like there are on movies. Not any of the ones I've seen anyway.
However- it's more than music execs who are hurting when we don't buy cd's, it's the "little people" who work shitty shifts at slave wages MAKING the actual disks at the Sony plant.
Ideally, their wages would stay the same and record label bigwigs wouldn't be making millions, but this is not an ideal world. This is the real world, and the person who suffers is the "little guy."
I'm all for free music for music's sake. But the cost is just too high all-round.

I'm split on this issue right down the middle.
