You were spot on Eilonnwy.
Quote:I think the laws, in general, are reasonable. Sorry they don't let you have anything you want for free, but if you were on the other side of the coin you would appreciate how these laws protect artists of all types. People have the right to produce something and sell it, this how people make a living regardless of whether they are rich, or merely get by month to month.
Piracy as in illegal downloading off internet sites is wrong. But most people who want music or movies or anything else will weasle their way to get stuff for free, it's just plain wrong.
I am a linced cosmetologist or a beauty professional. Say for instance that I had a professsional use only product, if I sell that product to say Rite Aid I would be stealing the product, and making no profit. Their is also a professional purchase agreement that I have to abid to for all the beauty products that I buy.
Eilonnwy had sum it up very nicely:
Quote:Stealing comes in when you try to sell those recordings, or you take something that has been purchased, such as a DVD and CD, you rip it and give it away or sell it. This constitutes as stealing, because instead of purchasing the material people buy it from someone else or do not buy it at all leading to loss of profits.
It is a good things that their are laws that protect everything from getting stolen.
