Default Copying Stealing and all this foolishness.

Alright. Let me put in my little two bit too.

Let's say that a record company just releases a new album for this artist (X). I go to the store and buy this album from X. Isn't this X's album for me to do whatever I want to do with it. Isn't the CD mine. They can't take it back from me, if I paid for it.

Now if I decided to share my paid-for CD (X's Album) with people, and people took it from me, then whoever took it from me is not doing anyting illegal. Right? Because it was my CD which I bought.
If I bought it, then I have the right to do whatever I want with it. Share it and copy it.

Now if I copied it and started to sell it that is illegal. This is one of the reasons, why (these people) do not want us to Reproduce it. Because if I reproduced it Z times and sold it, then it would not be the music company making the profit. It would be me. Now this is illegal.

But to buy it then to share it for free is not illegal. Right?

Somebody want to tell me their thoughts now?

KOOL, Mr. Anonymous
