So do you consider back in the day when you would put a cassette in your boombox and record your favorite songs off the radio to be pirating? Or recording TV shows onto VHS tapes so you could watch them weeks, months or years later?
What about sites like playlist.com, are those piracy? You're basically just building a playlist that you have to stream through their website, but you never own any of the music.
Even now you can record TV shows onto DVRs and burn them to DVDs if you have the right equipment, is that piracy?
Is it only piracy when you turn around and sell or otherwise make the property available for a mass market?
To be clear, I'm not defending piracy, I'm simply wondering where the line for piracy is now drawn.
