If I were a big electronic artist, and I had out of print work that people were copying, I wouldn't mind a bit. Since it's out of print, I'm not really losing any money. They would only be spreading around my work more and more, which is not something bad at all. But if it IS still in print, there's no excuse for that. Like that other guy said before (sorry, don't remember who) you're taking away money from them, when they're trying to make a living. Sure if it was some super pop crap like Marylon Mason, or NIN, who cares. But not these artists, I can imagine that they need every last dime from thier earnings. If it's still in print, it's not right. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if some sneaky little weasel was nibbling away at your paycheck. Enough of this coke vs. pepsi crap. I think it's a built in intuition that every human being knows what's right from wrong. You people who are doing wrong, are only trying to justify your behavior so you can sleep better at night. If it's wrong, DON'T DO IT. You'll feel better doing the right thing. Fuck religion, this is the rules of life in any case. You don't have to be a christian to understand that, and you know it. Even though you may not like it, you know it's true. Trying to justify wrong things never never works, it's just like trying to convince yourself 1 + 1 = 3. Even though you can come up with a million stupid excuses for it, you still know as plain as day that it's just not true. I think that's one of the golden rules. Honestly, if people didn't intuitivly know right from wrong, we wouldn't have justice. and NO it's not something your parents teach you, you're born knowing it. Sorry for trailing off the path of IDM. -Aaron, xxxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx -http://members.aol.com/midibiost/damaged.htm |- \ |_ _| |_ _|/ _||_ _||- \ |__\/_ \ | \./ |=- |_- \|___| | | |_ / | | || \\ |__\| || |\ |=- -bitstream
