They would get paid the same way they do now. By the people who buy it in the first place. Cracking a members area is complety different. If I go buy a new Metallica CD for example, if I want to copy the songs onto my hard drive and send them to a friend, how is that illegal? I own the CD, I should be able to do what I want with it as long as I'm not making any money off it right? |

By Whyohwhycantthingsbsimple - Wed 10/09/03 05:25:27 GMT Because you haven't paid for the privelidge of listening to it! If EVERYONE felt the same way as you, how would the artists ever get paid?? It's just the same as cracking a Members area for 'your own use' |

By David - spawn75@bellsouth.net Wed 10/09/03 03:13:12 GMT Unless the person who is downloading it is selling it, there's not a copyright violation. It's only illegal if somebody is making a profit off it. If I go download a song online for my personal use, how is that illegal? |
In reply to Message (5814.1) It's called stealing
By Anon - Wed 10/09/03 01:59:33 GMT Simple as that. It is no different than walking into a store, pulling a CD off the shelf, slipping it in your pocket and walking out the door. Songs and videos are the products that artists sell in order to make a living. |
