lpp's Journal: Music Swapping

I am still amazed by the folks who seem to feel they have some God given right to give away what they have no rights to give away.

People, under US law, it is, simply put, illegal to give someone else a copy of the music you legally purchased, unless the copyright owner of that musical piece has authorized such sharing. Period. End of discussion.

Debate the merits of allowing this sort of swapping legally all you like. But please quit spouting about how you already have such rights. You don't. No American does.
