it's also illegal but you don't hear much about it because those are analog copies.  One of the properties of analog media is that copying degrades the quality so by the time you're making a copy of a copy of a copy, etc it sounds pretty crappy.  MP3s on the other hand is digital.  every copy is exactly like the original.   This is why people aren't flocking to buy someone's vcr copied tapes (also because the internet is an incredibly efficient method of distribution whereby shipping vcr tapes which aren't great quality and will degrade over time isn't generally worth the effort or time)

I am glad you brought this up because I was thinking of the exact same speech and how the audience gave an overwhelming response in protest of this type of theft.  It gave a clear picture of how the artists felt about stealing their music off the internet.


okay, so then if getting copywrited stuff off the internet is illegal then what if you record a song off of the radio, or tape stuff off of tv...is that illegal too?  I mean, since  a movie or song is copywrited, recording them would be illegal too since nobody is buying it.
