Its as good as asking AR to host an FTP site and compelling him to dump whatever he does. There are various dimensions to look at when it matters about original and ripping (pls dont use RIP) 1. Ripping is good as long as it is personal and not violating any Copyright acts. So if I have an original DVD and an authorized software to extract BGMs I should extract and keep it to myself. This is matter of legality 2. The other one is a bit practical when there are pirated DVDs already available sold in open market what more difference does it make to extract and publish. But question is about ethics. I prefer buying a pirated DVD only when the original is not available but I dont wish to publish it simple bcs I respect the copyright laws.
On an other note I dont expect Gopal & Vijay to be compelled for this. Lets respect time of every individual. Yes its disheartening that we dont get each and every bit of AR's work. But whatever we get is not less in anyways to enjoy. With good valuable discussion happening hear I dont think I am missing anything. Well its also time consuming to search for such threads amongst several posts. --- In [email protected], kishore parayath <kishore.paray...@...> wrote: > > Y shoud we RIP BGMs when ppl like GOPAL or VIJAY can directly get the > ORIGINALS in completely voiceless state from ARR??? > > I know, that many of the BGMs may become songs later, or extended as > instrumentals.
