As for the legality, file sharing is not illegal. File sharing for PROFIT is illegal. It is not illegal for me to burn a copy of a cd that I purchased and give that copy to a friend. I fail to see how that is ANY different than using a program to send that CD to my friend free of charge. Sites like iTunes should be illegal because they charge for coppies of original work.
Also, songs on iTunes cost a buck, what happens if your computer crashes and...Oops, there go 1000 bucks worth of music. Ittl cost you $10,000 to fill up an iPod. Thats ridiculous. Im sorry but thats TOTALLY ridiculous.

In the USA, it is certainly NOT legal to burn a copy of a cd and give it to a friend. You can lend them the cd, or you can sell it to them, but it is not legal to make them a copy. What is illegal and what is actively enforced are not always the same thing. And you're right, it isn't much different from sending a copy of it over the internet.Alecto said:As for the legality, file sharing is not illegal. File sharing for PROFIT is illegal.

A dollar is hardly a bad price. A cd tends to cost between $13 - 18, usually with about 10 - 18 songs each.. and you are authorised to make yourself backups. So, if your computer crashes and you lose 1010 songs, then you're totally ridiculous for not making backups.Alecto said:Also, songs on iTunes cost a buck, what happens if your computer crashes and...Oops, there go 1000 bucks worth of music.

Really classy, I was brought to CF through my connections to Tool and A Perfect Circle, ever heard of those guys? Ignorance is attacking another person about their personal life, when the topic is illegal downloading, it's also ignorant when you posted yourself that the bands you know of make a .15-.35 profit on a $15 cd, where as my band makes a $4 profit on an $8 cd and again, you call me the ignorant one? Maybe we should work more on our math and skip some of the sarcasm? By the way, there have been a number of threads posted here on CF about my band, so I'm pretty sure that most of the people have heard of them,since you are in music full-time and it's obvious by the .15 profits that you could use some advertising, I don't need the advertising, we just played a show tonight to 1,800 fans, $15 a person and had to send about 450 away. I also explained that my band doesn't have a webpage, there are a few fansites, but no official site, again, we send people away every show because we are at capacity. You are struggling to live on your music, roll out the red carpet and tell us what major label powerhouse band you are in.TerraSin said:I was going to reply to this, and I did, but decided against continuing this childish **** due to ignorance.
But do PM me your absolutely fantabulous band's webpage, cause I and probably most others have never heard of you.

Copyright is one type of intellectual property. The others include patents, trademarks and designs. It is a bundle of rights - economic, legal, political and moral. Copyright is a type of personal property right that is founded on a person's creative work. It is designed to protect the copyright owner against unauthorised use by others of their creative work. While there is no requirement to attain a specific literary level, the output must take a tangible form. There is no copyright in ideas.

Section 106(1,3)Alecto said:Show me the law that says
Copyright in a sound recording protects the particular series of sounds "fixed" (embodied in a recording) against unauthorized reproduction and revision, unauthorized distribution of phonorecords containing those sounds, and certain unauthorized performances by means of a digital audio transmission. The Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act of 1995, P.L. 104-39, effective February 1, 1996, created a new limited performance right for certain digital transmissions of sound recordings.
It lays out what the person who owns the copyright is allowed to do. It never saying "The ONLY person allowed to make coppies is the owner of the copyright"ChrisLockhart said:Section 106(1,3)

...as simplified by Circular 56 : Copyright Registration for Sound Recordings:
Of course, Fair Use allows for limited sorts of reproduction.
