I really didn't want to go here, but... This may be true if you ONLY download 
your music from iTunes, etc.  But many (very good) independent bands offer 
full MP3 downloads, and often the ID3 tags are incorrect.  To say that ppl 
with incorrect ID3 tags in their MP3s are stealing their music is a HUGE 
assumption!

As an example, check out this band's website:

Note the full MP3 downloads, and also note that the Genre and even the Artist 
tags are not consistent through the files.  

Rather than start a flame war, I would point out that even with proper ID3 
tags, sorting on them only works if you like to organize your music by 
artist/album/track.  Since I like to organize my stuff a little differently 
(Music/90s/Hardcore/Acid_Bath/etc.), tagging doesn't work. 

As Thomas has already pointed out, choice is a good thing...
