Well, I don't think it should be illegal. Thats no more illegal than hearing a song on the radio and recording it with your tape player. Record companies have been screwing us for years. They can kiss my butt.

you right about its no more illeagal recording a song from the radio, witch is technicly illegal.
the thing is now with downloading em instead of ripping like you say, is that they have proof that you actuly did it, and there is a paper trail.
i think it should be illeagal... but it should be a hell of alot cheeper... relly what this is all about is that the major record labels have alot more compitition now, and they will not make nearly as much $$$ as they used too. they are getting all the $$ while they still can
And that means we listen more than talk politics? Honestly, if most of us cared about music as much as we do about politics we'd be on a music site, not a politics site.
Right. I am just giving an opinion on why most people are not answering this thread to deny downloading. I don't think most of us download because most on this site are more interested in other pursuits.
that sucks. I hope he gets off scott free
No, I have no downloaded music at all, no pirated software, and no downloaded ringtones. The creator of the work deserves to be paid.Am I the only one here who has not performed illegal music downloads ?
How have they been screwing us ? Can we not live without their product ?

Hmm same here. I wonder if someone stole a piece of LadyT's work and distributed it .........
Yes, those things that I don't post on...Is there anything that you won't argue about?
Jury nullification. Those who believe that they have done nothing wrong have the power, on a jury, to simply let people off the hook without regard to what was written as law.I understand that rationale klaatu. But the law is the law. That is my point.
Many people in prison have no feelings of guilt either.
I don't feel that consumption of a certain controlled substance is wrong either, but understand that if one is caught you pay the price.
