Dear Tha Anonymous 1,

The whole problem with your argument has been covered before but let me recap. When you buy a CD it is true that you physically own the CD. However, the contents of that CD are protected by copyright. Just about all music and movies place restrictions on redistribution -- that is, your ability to give away or to sell unauthorized copies. There is no distinction as to whether you do it for fun or for profit.

Typically it says "Unauthorized reproduction or distribution is strictly prohibited" and NOT "Unauthorized reproduction or distribution is strictly prohibited unless you are giving it away for free then it's okay."
