Yeah, don't blame him ... he may be using an excuse you will need someday to justify your own unethical behavior.

Can not blame the guy

"I've never heard anyone engaging in unethical/criminal/wrong behavior that didn't have a "great" excuse. It just proves they know it's wrong and they need to justify it."
right, it proves that you're wrong about doing something if you have an argument for why you did it.
Justify means to make just.
Actually I've heard lots of people who have bad excuses, by bad excuse I would mean an excuse that was logically faulty, for example, a burglar arguing that he burglarises to teach people to be more security conscience is making a bad argument because people only need to be more security conscience in matters of burglary because there are burglars out there.
You seem to mean Bad excuse is an excuse that you don't agree with.
I don't much care for what he did and I wouldn't do it but for some reason it doesn't register very high on my outrage meter.
That said I have been thinking about stealing music; I haven't ever done it before because it seems like more work than just going to a store and buying. My reason for doing it, if indeed I do, will of course be that I figure the RIAA has it coming, bastards that they are. I hope you'll forgive my bad excuse, I will argue that it makes my actions just, but if I get in trouble for it I certainly won't whine.
Then again I might not do it, aforementioned laziness to blame.
