I disagree. Clearly, the concept of intellectual property has merit and has been upheld time and again by the courts. An artist does retain certain rights to his or her work and usurping those rights has been found to carry civil and criminal -- not to mention moral -- consequences. For most of us, if we are copying music at all, it is on such a small scale that the chances of being sued or prosecuted are minimal. So, for me at least, it boils down to a moral issue. But theft of intellectual property is still theft. -- Kyle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kyle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2541 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34366 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
