Is the RIAA suing you?

your pig headedness astounds me! I spend $50 or more every week on music whether its shows or CDs…I work in a damn record store helping people select music they will like, and so I download some songs so that i can hear whats new and help me decide what to buy and what shows to go to…it may be stealing but you placing me or others just like me in the same category as a mugger or a car thief is kind of ludicrous dont you think?

Originally posted by Celeste:yeah…so? not from every band….which is why what i download is very very minimal…i was orignally more arguing the point, not my specific downloading habits, since really I do not feel as though I am doing that much wrong….just a little…and no one is perfect.

I did not have sexual relations with those music files.

You know, I've wondered the same thing. About 25% of the music I've downloaded has been stuff I've previously purchased (just to listen to at work, etc), and the rest has been music that isn't readily available (out of print b-sides, singles, etc). Not that I'm anywhere near the top-tier pirates I'm sure they're looking for, but I wonder what the cut-off is.

[qb] Let me create a scenario….I hear of a band, and i download a few of thier songs, and then I decide that i like them, and i buy thier CD and/or check out thier show. Well, now doesnt that seem like its benefitting the music industry?
What happens if you buy the CD and then download a song from it, that must be legal?
From what I remember working there, it's not legal to own the CD and still download the songs. But you can always check www.riaa.com.

For example if they caught you file downloading, but then when they came round your house they found you owned all the CDs for those files, is that illegal?
What about things like out-of-print material? Is there some legal action against downloading those? Not that I'm worried about it, since I'm not even close to the level of pirating that some former roommates of mine were, but still…
