Anon | I have a Tape Deck I still remember having my sterio rack, perticurly the Radio and Tape Deck. Was it illegal for me to record songs off the radio (bout the best quality there was in those days) onto my tape deck? I even went as far as writing what songs I put on the tape.
I didnt make a profit off of it, I just know what type of music I like. I'd even trade with my friends here and there, they all have good taste.
So tell me, what is so different about Streamripper. Its simply the digital equivelent.
I don't have an internet connection at my house. I use streamripper to save my favorite streams at a friends and ocassionaly hook up to his network and retrieve them. When I through a party at my house and I play my ripped streams, am I hurting the artists? I can imagine the fear on the artists faces when my friend goes "Woah... thats a cool song, who's it by?"
Come on people. Grow up. If copying songs off the radio station for personal use is illegal, ... well... I dont know. Our Society is pretty messed up as it is, perhaps these lawyers need to be looking at the fact that we can now be cuffed and brought to jail for not wearing our seatbelts. |
