Just adding my two cents. I tend to agree with Elfkura and the many others who say that Kazaa is not a bad thing. I guess another analogy would be a gun. I don't own a gun but I have never blamed the gun for the murders that have been committeed. I do have a copy of Kazaa on my system and have had it for over a year. In all that time I have only downloaded two songs that I couldn't find locally (I live in the boon docks). I liked them so well that I did in fact wind up buying the CD's (two different songs--two different artists)even though I had to send away for the CD's.
Citizen Spinal said it far better the I can:
"eg. [mp3](not owned by you)->copy using p2p->[Your hard drive]
same as
[movie on tv](not owned by you)->copy using VCR->[your blank tape]
same as
[song on radio](again not owned by you)->copy using casette recorder->[your walkman]
I fail to see the difference, should we all dissaprove of vcrs and casette recorders, both designed for ripping, both, when used as intended break copyright laws..."
Music is my next greatest passion next to computers and if I like the music I buy it so that I can play it anytime I like. I put all of my music (records, cd's, tape)on to my hard drive and always have it running in the background.
I'm sorry Paxx, I understand your thinking but I just don't agree with it.
