Remember . . it is important for Christians to admit they are 'sinners' . . . it is part of the religion, they know their faults, that's what Jesus is all about.
Thats a bunch of crap though. The idea behind sinning ISN'T that you go out and say "well, god will forgive me, so I'll do it anyways." Downloading music, if you're making it a religious issue, can't be shrugged away and excused by saying it's "forgiveable."
Seems like I heard that on the radio - maybe Paul Harvey. I did a Google search and found this. It was originally from news24.com. I couldn't confirm that as it requires registration.

Pilgrims throng Jerusalem
Jerusalem - Pilgrims from every strain of Christianity crowded the streets of Jerusalem's Old City on Good Friday, retracing Jesus' path to crucifixion. Groups from Russia, Poland, Greece, the Philippines and Ethiopia followed the stations of the cross along the cobblestoned Via Dolorous, or Way of Sorrows, the route tradition says Christ took from his trial to his burial. This year, Easter Week is marked at the same time by both Orthodox and Western Christians, which generally follow different calendars. Police and local shopkeepers, some of whom were selling pirate DVDs of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, said this year's Good Friday turnout was larger than any since the outbreak of Israeli-Palestinian fighting in September 2000.
