And Elecktra would only lose money if the friend would otherwise have paid for the CD. Record companies like to exagerate this stuff, I'd say that's nearly worth a death penalty.

a poem by my computer, Macintosh Vigilante
Macintosh amends a damned around the requested typewriter. Macintosh urges a scarce design. Macintosh postulates an autobiography. Macintosh tolls the solo variant. Why does a winter audience delay macintosh? The maker tosses macintosh. Beneath female suffers a double scum. How will a rat cube the heavier cricket? Macintosh calls a method. Can macintosh nest opposite the headache? Macintosh ties the wrong fairy. When can macintosh stem the land gang? Female aborts underneath macintosh. Inside macintosh waffles female. Next to macintosh worries a well.

This has always interested me, I don't think it's clear cut either way. If I copy a CD of a friend then instead of buying it then in a way I am stealing since I'm avoiding paying for it, but there again if I had no intention of buying it then they wouldn't be loosing anything. Overall I think copying copyrighted stuff should be illeagal but the harm done by piracy is grossly exacurated, if it became legal then one person would pay and everyone else would copy so they wouldn't make any money.

And let's not forget that millions of people are still going to the movies, renting movies, buying dvds, buying cds, and seeing bands perform live.  It's not like Elecktra is going broke.

It's not that at all. Maybe I should have bolded SHOULD in that statement to emphasise the critical word in the proclamation.

It doesn't matter how you or I see it. It doesn't matter how you or I feel about it.

It doesn't matter whether you or I see harm in it or not.

The fact is simple. The law as it is right now says it is illegal.

That's what I was saying. Regardless of what you feel, believe or think, it is still illegal. Any time you CHOOSE to break the law, even if it is out of principle, you should be prepared to accept the consequences. For gods sake, were discussing pirating DVD's and music, not international drug smuggling, crack dealing, homocide or mass slayings. Either way, the principle is still the same.

And, because I feel a bit of a smart ass...

Damnit, and my dvd burner only works on disks, yours apparently clones people...
