If downloading mp3s is illegal, & we start paying to download them(those who are willing to pay), what's to prevent us from making a copy & giving it to a friend? Maybe have the cops follow us everywhere? And I highly doubt anyone wants "the powers that be" to monitor our computer/internet activity, I know I don't. But that might be the only way they can stop us, which is utterly rediculous. And it's denying us the privacy we all have a right to. Oh, but if the record companies/artists deserve money from mp3s, why not charge to listen to the radio? After all, it's copyrighted music, isn't it? Walking into a music store & taking a cd without paying is illegal, but downloading/sharing mp3s amongst ourselves should not be. Eventually, we reach a point where you have to say its gone too far, so where do we draw the line? Think about it. - -- Join my forums! http://forums.delphiforums.com/dafanclub http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dafanclub http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jewelfans ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 2 Feb 2003 09:45:52 EST From: StuartnDee@aol.com Subject: Re: [EDA] Re: Copyright Stuff In a message dated 2/2/03 9:22:04 AM, sasafrass@hotpop.com writes: << Oh, but if the record companies/artists deserve money from mp3s, why not charge to listen to the radio? >> They do charge to put music on the radio but its the radio stations paying -- not the listeners. Radio stations are legally required to log playlists and pay ASCAP or BMI who distribute that money to their artists and songwriters that are played on the radio.

The proposed directive, meant to harmonize intellectual property right enforcement laws in the 15-nation European Union (EU), aims to strike "a fair balance" between interests of right holders and the opportunities the Internet offers to consumers, according to Commission documents accompanying the draft. No tougher sanctions are introduced against individuals who download tracks for noncommercial use. Criminal sanctions only apply when copyright infringement is carried out intentionally and for commercial purposes, the Commission said. Peer-to-peer file-sharing services that encourage copyright infringement and make money from advertising are commercial, according to the Commission. "That is illegal and should be stopped," the Commission said. Examples of file sharing services are Kazaa and Morpheus.
