  1. Absolutely the same legally.
  2. You should study debate if you think this lame crap constitutes an argument.
  3. That is his marketing choice. You can share his recordings. Most professional musicians count on sales of their recordings. You cannot steal theirs.

    You are quite wrong about that. You are just trying to justify being a thief.
  4. No, what I am saying is that sharing information peer to peer is not stealing. It is exactly what it is, sharing. No one is being deprived of anything.
  5. And I'm saying that sharing is loaning something that either will be returned or not, but only one paid-for copy exists. Duplicating a copyrighted file and giving that away produces multiple copies, all-unpaid and illegal and its creator has been cheated.
  6. again, we are aware that you think illegal is the same thing as immoral. we can think beyond that idea.
  7. i am not talking about legally. not sure how many times i have to explain that.
  8. hell I don't even think it's immoral. for an up and coming artist P2P is essential to get your sound out there. To me, copyright infringement, is when you take an artists work, and try to profit off of it in some fashion.
  9. of course. free exchange of information benefits almost everyone except one small special interest group, publishers. and they dont create anything except marketing.
