right...but you are not recreating it....and making another physical copy for that person, that they would have had to pay for otherwise.... Do you view anything that can be copied in the same light? Computer software? A book? A painting? |

NOOOOOOOOOOOO
for the same reasons that KBlair stated and the fact that I think "artists" are overpaid and we're over charged - this is what happens when you screw consumers over. |

 But I do think that they consumers are being screwed over and this is how people rebel. It's ridiculous to have to spend $20+ for one or two songs on an album. But this idea that we can't even copy the tracks onto our PC is outrageous. They have no right telling us what we can and can't put on our PC if it's paid for - if that's the case, then they shouldn't be putting out music. I don't understand how it's that much different from listening to songs on the radio. I and many others used to record songs from the radio - it wasn't illegal or a big deal then, why is it now? Because they're losing profits. |

I think their stance on not copying it to the computer is only a matter of bidding...they're taking a harsher stance than they want only hoping for a compromise that is closer to what they want. |

I'm guessing you're against sharing? What's your take? |
