@vevoumgwmg You do officially buy the song and by what the moral ethic says... you can SHARE the file with you friend... right? so what if the sharing took place via internet

@corjonbett Hey there! i completely disagree to you point here, As to what the woman fought for and unfortunately lost, i think it just the case of file share. Are you not breaking the law by sharing the music you bought on a cd and then give it to you friend to listen to.. the case here comes to, you giving the cd via internet for him to listen to.. waiting for reply.. :)

@corjonbett Do you know why its called File sharing and not stealing? Because its a file -.- your example makes no sense, and people in 3rd world countries wouldn't pay for it, and not everyone has money to throw, some people actually have to work just to have enough money for there house, car, and other essential things.

@corjonbett How does it cost them money? It doesn't even cost them bandwidth, its just like not making a sale. In fact if there was no file sharing there would be no way that i would buy all the music that i have if any at all.

@TheCompGame It DOES cost them money, since you're supposed to BUY the song on a cd. Since you got it for free, it's the same as if you grabbed it off a display and ran out of the mall. DON'T DO IT.

@BigJoeHuron Wrong. Since the songs come from USA, they can still extradite you. THERE IS NO SAFE HARBOR.

IF I HAD A DOLLAR FOR EVERY TIME ONE OF MY SONGS WAS DOWNLOADED I COULD-ACTUALLY MAKE A LIVING AS A PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN. ARTISTS ARE BROKE! THEY HAVE STOPPED TRYING!

What about freedom of information laws? Could there possibly be a way to argue that all media is a form of information therefor legally entitling us all access to said information (media). For example, by putting a price on media, you are taking away the right of those who have literally no money at all to EXPERIENCE that one single unique piece of available life. Do we not all have to right to experience anything we want to as human being blessed with free will? Try to Black and White that one!

Thumbs up if you believe that if you purchase a file that file becomes you're property and you should have the right to do whatever you want with it
