That's a far more complicated issue than I think you can begin to comprehend.


Careful what you choose to argue about here, because chances are, somebody argues it better than you do.

If your up for a napster debate then I'm game

it's not a complicated issue at all, Mettalica told their fans to f*ck off unless you're willing to pay for our music

Doesn't a painter have a right to control duplication and distribution of their paintings? And why shouldn't it be? Afterall, we're talking about this artist's means of existance.

It's no different with music.

Well, you say "it's the big labels that are affected by this."

Yeah, but it was the artist's choice to sign and now that which harms the label harms them.


Sharing/trading music when a band is cool with it = bomb diggity

Sharing/trading music when a band isn't cool with it = criminal activity
