Slight ethical dilemma

Do you buy classic Michael Jackson songs off of iTunes?
On one hand, I really don't want send money off to a child molester.
On the other hand, the last copy I had of the Thriller album was vinyl record. I kid you not. Vinyl. And years later, I still have a deep and abiding love for "Beat It" and "Dirty Diana" and "Billie Jean". The songs are damn good.
Unless someone knows where I can get a free copy of these songs - thus satisfying both my need to be moral and my need for the shiny.
