What I *did* say was that you are NOT entitled to pick up or steal a free CD of your favourite album from the local CD store
Right. Taking a tangible good from a store without paying for it is theft. Doesn't matter what you own at home.
or using P2P software just because you own a vinyl copy at home.
hum. That's actually a gray area. If the mp3 was made from a vinyl copy of the song, then the case could be made that from your POV it's a fair use copy. Never been tested in court tho. Of course, from the POV of the person sharing out the song, it's copyright infringement.
