You do not pay the artist his/her/their money through your connection fees. The problem is, you take an expensive computer it is considered theft, if I download a song it is not, how about if someone wants a selection of songs on their computer, is it also not right to rip the songs from the CD's onto a computer as this is in fact copying it onto a comptuer and not using it for its intended use? Does this make them thieves as well? The answer I got in another thread about copying your CDs to your hard drive was that it is not considered illegal, IF you do not share them. You do own the CD and therefore also the songs. I didnt mean to imply harshness I was trying to say there is a negative attitude towards it and its users even if they are people who do as I do. So I'm a thief huh? So if I kill myself because you said that would that make you all murderers? Very bad analogy Felix. You can´t compare them. That´s like calling a dog an elephant since they both have four legs. I think the reason i posted was because I shouldn't be called a thief. I am innocent until proven otherwise and a comment will not change that.I think this has been proved several times by the RIAA. And I think this will be proven further every day in the paper over the next months. Anyway if anyones offended by that well, what can I say...
