You can do what ever you want with it.. If you can't then you rented the music... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooljunkie Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 Look out for a shiny new copyright law coming soon. In theory he's right though. He bought it, he can sell it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markusschulz Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 In my opinion, when you DL a song. You have bought the license for it. When a record label licenses a song from an artist, they can not just sell the license to a 3rd party without compensating the artists. The same should apply here. The artist needs to be compensated PERIOD. The usual is a 50/50 split on 3rd party licensing between artist and label. Yes there will be a new law soon, and hopefully it will help keep some of the talented artists from giving up on music. Alot of talented artists are having to support their family with alternate jobs, while people rape their gifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markusschulz Posted September 8 Report Share Posted September 8 If there was a foolproof way to make sure that you didnt retain any copies I suppose it would be ok, but since there is no way of monitoring that, we cannot continue with the current law, and need to redefine to protect the artists and labels.

They lost, and now you can't imagine life without one. And the same war is being fought with tivo, but now every cable company is gonna offer a digital set top recorder and you can even use your computer to do it, and trade shows all over the internet. then there is this case:http://archive.salon.com/tech/feature/1999/07/29/wild_feeds/index1.htmldid you guys watch 60 minutes last night? if you did, you can see how the goverment is clueless on the internet...

Correction, you do not purchase the "music itself"...you purchase a vehicle of reproduction for the music...read the FBI restrictions on copyright infringemente and public reproduction, technicly, you can't even play that music on a public venue (restaurant, club, movie theater...) without paying the proper royalties to the intellectual owner of the work...is this news to anyone?
