Let's be fair about things here. Yes, there's a problem with people who
believe that just because the internet makes it easy, they're
entitled to
whatever they want without paying. But you also have to take into
account
the almost psychopathic pursuit of every conceivable penny in the
name of
copyright by various record labels, trade associations, and collections
societies.
So are you arguing that two wrongs makes a right, David? Sorry, but
that does not compute. That's what courts are for, or simple public
ridicule, as happened when ASCAP tried to dun the Boy and Girl Scouts
for music sung around their campfires. You did mention the case, and
if I recall ASCAP had to back off with egg on their face.

You misread the quotation attributes, John. I didn't say that at all --
my post was quoted by Blake Richardson, who then went on the tirade
against stupid things done in the name of copyright protection.
I am most definitely arguing that 2 wrongs make a right, although I
believe that Blake wasn't saying that either, simply pointing out why a
whole generation seems to think that it's okay to share music without
paying anybody.
Oops -- that last paragraph was meant to say "I am most
definitely *not* arguing that 2 wrongs make a right . . ."
Not enough coffee for this hour of the morning!
