A copyrighted song is PROPERTY and is subject to property rights.  There should be no sympathy for those who STEAL this kind of property any more than for those who steal cars,TV sets, the family silver or any other property.

I yam what I yam and that's all I yam--but it is enough!

Yo, Contendah....

 

It sure is stealing-unless you can leave it right where it is.

 

I have two hard drives and several thumb drives and an MP3 player crammed FULL of legally obtained music that didn't cost me a penny.

 

Came from the same internet that Jammie there got it from, except I didn't download it and it's untraceable-because I left the original files where they were.

 

Remember the old days before digital media? We used to sit by the radio and wait for a song we wanted to get played-and as soon as we heard the DJ's intro-we'd hit the 'record' button on our cassette players?

 

Perfectly legal to listen to the music for free on the radio, right?

 

Perfectly legal to keep a copy (because YOU made it-not the artist or producer or marketer). 

 

I do nthe same thing on the 'net only nowadays I don't have to wait for the DJ...

 

Just find it available for playing on Pandora Radio or any other site where you can only *watch* a music video or *listen* to a song...

 

Get you a nifty lil' free proggy called MP3myMP3 (or any of thousands of other free similar small programs) and open it up and hit 'Play' on the song player and 'Record' on the MP3 maker and listen to the song. When it's done either automatically or at the click of a button can create an MP3 or Wav file for burning directly to CD. All nice and legal because YOU created the file. No downloads of traceable data involved. Nobody's looking at you for it because technically, it doesn't exist.

 

Now UPloading for distribution (Where do ya think all those losers on Kazaa and Frostwire and Krapster got all those MP3s people are downloading, hmmmmm???  Same way I do.) could get ya in trouble, but I'm not talking about that.

 

Ain't no copyright protection in the world keepin' ya from getting yer tunes anyway. Plus there's no audio quality loss.

 

 

I haven't downloaded a song since 1998. But I've been collecting free music ever since.

 

The RIAA can 5uc& my 8@115.
