Do not kid yourself. The RIAA is also condeming recording songs from the radio also. Seems they act as all everyone does who is consumed with greed. Give them a small victory, and they think they can take on the entire world.

As I stated in my earlier post, they want to stop all forms of duplication, and I believe if one looks at it from a right or wrong stand point we all know that WE did not write, produce, sing, or have any rights to that song at all. We certainly did not "pay" into the industry's pool for the rights to play and hear the song. Why then do we think its okay to duplicate the song in ANY way?

No, I am not going back on my previous stand earlier in this thread. I still think duplication spurs on profits and creates advertising for the industry. I still believe that duplicating does not HURT the profit system by duplication, however, I think a question like the one asked is pretty shallow. It is up to us to decide if we are doing wrong, up to each indivual to decide if we are taking food out of the celebrities mouths, hurting the industry by not paying for these songs. I think its obvious to most and the question becomes sort of mute once a individual sorts these things out for themselves.

Is it right or is it wrong? Moral or not? Read my earlier posts on other forms of duplication and I believe you can assume what my position is, however, I will not advocate a stance here. I think you need to figure out if its right on your own.
