================================================ Subject: Re: burning cd's and downloading music From: "Keith Mears" To: Date: Fri 8 Mar 2002 04:09:59 -0500 ================================================ Way to miss the point, Jess.  The debate was about whether or not it’s wrong, either morally or legally, to download music that one hasn’t paid for, and to this point, none of us have said that we’ve never done that.  I’ve done it, and I have no problem admitting it.  The point is, I also admit it’s WRONG to do that, and I now make every effort NOT to do it.  Do I still occasionally cross the line?  Sure, I’m human.  But I don’t then turn around and say what I did was OKAY, because the record company doesn’t need the money, or any other lame excuse, and I sure as hell don’t go on a band’s OFFICIAL DISCUSSION LIST and spout off about it.   -----Original Message----- From: Creed Discussion List [mailto:CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM] On Behalf Of Bklynbaby727@AOL.COM Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 3:52 AM To: CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM Subject: Re: burning cd's and downloading music   In a message dated 3/8/2002 3:39:35 AM Eastern Standard Time, kthulu@COMTECK.COM writes: You have to make a personal attack to reveal specifics?  Ah well, doesn’t really matter anyway, does it?  “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”, and you and Jess have gone WAY off on a tangent anyway. Please explain how Dawn and I have gone off on a tangent. Debbi stated: Any way you slice it, having a copy of the music without purchasing the license for that music (i.e. buying it thru the retail channel) is illegal. Now if i'm not mistaken, isn't putting songs on a server for others to download, not aiding in such an act?
