Intellectual property is one's own property. Copyright laws mean something.
If recording companies desire to "give away" tracks, as promos, the can do so.
For a third party to take your party, and distribute it for profit is theft.
To: ConservativeMan55
Can anyone explain to me how the record industry can identify those who download songs on servers such as Kaaza. My understanding is that they are downloading songs from another private parties computer, not some central computer....How do the recording industries "cops" know which IP address is downloading what songs without committing some internet snooping crime themselves?

Copyright law indeed means something, but "intellectual property" is a complete fiction.

No profit is involved if I decide to take a song from a CD, turn it into an MP3 and give it to my friend on his computer. That isn't any different than making a cassette tape.

In other words, if you make a copyrighted work available for download from your machine, it is YOU who have committed the crime.
And those addresses are available without illegal snooping, that's how the sharing thing works.
I use 'crime' only in the way the allegations make it - I myself and not convinced one way or the other.

I hope you have a fire extinguisher handy because you are about to get flamed. Not by me, though, because I agree with you 100%. The file thiefs will have excuse after excuse as to why stealing someone else's work product is legally and/or morally justified, but the bottom line is that stealing the music is no different than going to the corner mini-mart and stealing a tank of gas. (The oil companies deserve it because they charge too much per gallon, manipulate the market to screw the consumer, and rip the consumer off.)

OK, sorry I posted it for the 10th time !!

Copyright laws mean something. They sure do. They have their foundation in the Golden Rule: He who has the Gold rules.

That isn't any different than making a cassette tape. I don't know this for a fact, but I will bet you that it's not legal to record a copyrighted work onto a cassette and give to your friends, either.
The RIAA tried to get this enforced when cassettes first came out, but dropped it because everybody realized that cassette copies are not as good as the original, and that copies of copies just make it worse.
With the advent of CD copying, it's more feasible that a copy of a copy of a copy is just as good as the original. So they care more.

Once I buy it they should have no say in what I do with it. Its now my property and if I want to go throw it into a lake so the fish can make copies that is my choice.
