All of which require profiting from said infringements to justify any punishment.
Let's be honest...anybody who really thinks copying an artists music and distributing it for whatever reason is not stealing is pretty delusional. I am just presenting the basic arguments because this is a really good discussion on something our government still has yet to adequately govern. The bigger problem is that this is never going to go away. It is here to stay and musicians should get used to it. Not saying they should just accept it but they should at least know and understand that it is going to happen regardless. Anybody have a good idea on a way to stop it. I sure the US Attorney General would love a good idea.
