RIAA is Gay Thread

[Ooner]

The difference is listening to it for free, and OWNING it for free... you can borrow a book from the library, but you only get to keep what you remember from it, the book goes back. When you listen to a CD in a friend's car, that's sharing. When you can still go home and listen to it, and so can they, it's not really just sharing anymore. That's why the library example didn't work. Imagine if the music couldn't be easily duplicated and reproduced.

You can't share a sandwich or a book or a movie or a 100 dollar bill without either using it together or splitting it up. I think that is the primary concern of the RIAA with easily copied/transferred mp3s. Their definition of sharing doesn't include distribution of copies, which is understandable. They're just going about it all the wrong way and for the wrong reasons.
