Komplex001 said:I really think that File sharing music and videos is not stealing. No one loses anything on account of "COPYING". Stealing involves someone being deprived of something. And no one loses any profit. Perhaps if you were making money off the bootlegs, then yes that would be bad. By alot of peoples logic, recording a movie with a blank VHS is "stealing", or recording a song with a cassette off the radio. And what if the Tv show wasn't ever on DVD?
File sharing is no different from recording, the only difference is that the companies for some reason see it as a bigger threat *rolls eyes*. Nothing is at loss, people are always going to buy the media, and they don't lose money.
Maybe if they were acutally being deprived of money and the whole world was rioting in chaos then I would stop. But until then......no sin is being commited, nothing is wrong.
I do not condone acutal stealing and believe it is definitely wrong. But you have to use your brains to know the difference. Stealing from a store or borrowing and never giving back an object, is stealing. Copying something doesn't result in any loss.
Komplex001 said:I doubt it would hurt a company if I decided to record an entire season of a TV show on VHS instead of buying the DVD set. What difference would it make if I downloaded recordings of the show on a computer?
Through legal entities/websites which sell mp3s on the internet etc, also buying the discs themselves then transcoding them for backup purposes.Komplex001 said:Plus how else do people even get digital downloads of music and movies? TV, Radio, and DVD's and CD's.
Komplex001 said:Someone said that while it may not acutally be stealing or not exactly hurting any companies, God says we should obey the laws of the government. I'm sure this doesn't include ridiculous laws.
Komplex001 said:I have it figured out. downloading music and movies is illegal and wrong especially since you're not paying for it in any way. It's cheating really. But recording something onto a VHS would not be because you're already paying for the cable an all. There's no fault with that.
