A person can buy a song (not theft) and then distribute it for free. You could argue that the people receiving the file are stealing, but the person who is distributing is not; he is breaking copyright.
So you're saying there is a distinction between providing (copyright) and accepting (stealing)?
That would still mean downloading is crime (stealing) which was what my argument with Meatball was about.
Not trying to be funny Adrian but I couldn't give a rat's arse about copyleft ... it isn't law, it has no bearing on the concept and is adopted by a bunch of idealists who STILL rely on the normal theft laws to protect other things they own.
