Re:You Own the Bits, Not the Music (Score 1)

Ok, so then tell me this about copyrighted CD's that will not let you create MP3's from the CD? Oh, wait. I just bought a Sony music CD and want to put the entire thing on my Sony MP3 player so I am able to listen to this with my portable MP3 player or in my truck with the MP3 deck. But here is the kicker.....I am not able to create all the MP3s from the CD either because it is mixed media or copyright protected. So why is this wrong? Should I beable to download the MP3 from where ever or who ever has this? YES! Even if Sony would have a site that would allow you to download the tracks it is still not right. In the long run this is not going to win with these big corperations. File sharing is here to stay and if they want to stop this then the internet should be closed. We lived without it before it could be done again. But wait....No internet? How would the recording industry get new music of a artist that they are promoting to the radio stations? I guess they would have to pay to have it put on a CD and shipped all over the world again..... Does downloading an MP3 of a song that you already have on CD even matter? NO! My personal thought is this. Everyone knows that all CD's have at LEAST one bad song on there or one that you really do not like.....Let the record companys get together and come to an understanding so we can order custom CD's or MP3's for all I care at a store or online at a fair price. Cut out the other stuff and make it like 75 cents per song.....This dollar thing is way out of reach for ONE cd filled with Mp3's 200+ songs.
