[QUOTE="Lecarde, post: 16993593, member: 21016"] File sharing isn't a typical kind of stealing. You cant compare it to walking into a store, taking a guitar, and walking out. Its more like taking your friends guitar, putting it in a cloning machine, and making a copy. Your friend still has his guitar, and you now have one just like his. I'm not convinced its stealing at all, because you're not depriving anyone of anything but intellectual property. My friend tells me that its legal to walk into an art gallery and take a picture of the art. This is an even better analogy since any music you download will not be the same thing as the original published work. It is typically in a degraded condition because compression will pull down the quality slightly when you rip the CD. Yes, its similar, but so is the picture you take of your favorite painting in an art gallery. Yes, the government says it is wrong. The government also says that abortion is alright. Take your respective governments with a grain of salt. What they say is or is not right should not be what composes your own morals. Use your brain. Just because the government says you dont have one doesn't mean its true. [/QUOTE]
