What is Stealing?

So here is one for you.. and for that matter, Kat/Sea/whoever at 10c.


i am putting a bunch of CD's on my ipod right now.. and "Vs." has a scratch during "indifference" :nono:

i own 3 copies of "vs". The original "five against one" tape, that i got the day of release, a copy of the CD (the one with the scratch) that i bought back in the day, as soon as i got a CD player. AND the Vinyl. Thats three "licenses" (in todays terms) that i have purchased.

these days.. if i were to download a song from itunes, and the file was lost or damaged, i could re-download the file (license) that i purchased. you are not paying for the 1's and 0's, you are paying for the right to listen to it.

SOOOOOO... i have no interest in buying a 4th "license" of "vs" in order to have a clear copy of "indifference", for loading on my ipod.

WHAT IS THE STANCE ON DOWNLOADING THIS FOR FREE (not that i know how, im too old) WOULD I BE STEALING? again, if i had bought a copy off itunes, i could jut re-download it... and i have purchased this album three times.

I yield back the balance of my time.

    put the CD onto your hard drive via Itunes. most likely the 'scratch' is on the surface of the CD and has nothing to do with the actual MP3 file. The file itself should be fine to play via an Ipod. I've had old CDs where I've had scratches but the file itself in ITunes was fine.
  • mikerlmikerl Posts: 580
    OK, christ.. i will.


    BUT, im my (obviously unique) mind, it was an interesting talk about licensing.

    unfortunately, this is not the case.. as is "no code" as well.

  • Failing the ability to create an mp3 off the vinyl copy, just download it. By your own words, you've already bought three different copies/versions of the song.

    Alternatively, just take a live version with Ben Harper. :)

    Like someone said, put the cd into itunes & see what happens. If it doesnt work, pay the .99 for just that song.

    Im prolly the only person on the planet that would buy the song. Like you, I lost touch with that stuff after napster. I have no desire to figure out where/how to do it again because it would be too tempting to get other stuff. It is stealing.

    Well, the first thing you do in this situation is download the thing and don't ask any questions. :lol:;)

    If I recall it is not stealing to have a copy of the digital music if you download it from another source but still have the physical medium such as a CD. However I do believe that if you have not purchased the digital rights and don't have the physical medium then you are in violation of the copyright laws in affect.

    I have a scenario for you.

    I buy a CD, rip the contents to my hard drive with iTunes. I then sell my CD to a used music store. Do I have to delete my MP3s since I dont own the CD anymore?

    Just don't run for any political office because if you are a republican and in the lead based on polls, Gloria Allred will bring it up in the media a week before the election and you will be publicly embarrassed and lose the election.

  • Go to your local library. Borrow a copy of VS and copy it onto your hard drive.

    I bought a toaster, had it for over a decade. One day it just stopped popping up automatically. It still cooked toast, just didn't do it as well as when I first bought it. I realised it served me well for a very long time, but now it was broken. I went and spent $20 on a new toaster that does exactly the same thing in the same length of time as the old one, but it works a little better, how it should work.

    Dear God man, please no. Harper ruined that song every time... Atlanta 94 if you want a good version.

    As for the OP, couldn't you borrow one and download it? You own it, no guilt.
  • If push came to shove, and the Feds knocked on your door, all you would have to do is show them that you have all of these copies of the album - your proofs of purchase.

    Then tell them if they don't like it, to eat a bag of ding dongs. :lol:

    Disappointing thread.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.
