Illegal and immoral.
It's interesting to note, that you and I are to my knowledge the ONLY professional musicians on this board, let alone this debate, yet we're the only ones arguing against the theft of our property.
To any of you guys arguing against, could you take a moment, and imagine if people were using your services, or taking your property without permission?
Now, just say that people were here arguing that people SHOULD be allowed to rip off a carpenter. Not pay him for building their house if they don't feel like it.
They SHOULD be able to hire ten people at your job to do your work with you, and only pay the people they feel do a job they like, no matter whether they keep the result of your unpaid labours or not.
