You are wrong. If you distribute a CD to friends then you're denying that record label income and that's illegal. A professional in the radio industry is not a lawyer.
CD burners, DVD recorders and the like have perfectly legitimate uses. Just because people use them for illegitimate purposes doesn't mean they should be banned. It's attitudes like this that give us DRM and other copy protection schemes. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com -----Original Message----- From: pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of hank smith Sent: Monday, April 19, 2010 2:53 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: It's Still Stealing your wrong if your cell fore proffit its elegal if your sharing unmung friends and family etc then its fine otherwise they need to band all cd burners, dvd records etc etc oh yeah and mp3 players to cause downloading mp3s is "elegal to" look as long as you don't cell fore proffit then its fine this was told to me buy a radio station professional who was in the indistory fore over 15 years ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom" <t...@pc-audio.org> To: <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2010 11:37 AM Subject: Re: It's Still Stealing > The websites that allow you to download music and other copyrighted > material are illegal in the United States.
