I'm not saying it's "ok" or not but it's easier, cheaper and better
looking/sounding than has ever been possible ever. And more importantly so
easy to redistribute. And since it is next to impossible to police/prohibit
how is copyright relevant today? I'm asking the question I don't have an
answer. It's all about money I suppose as long everyone gets their cut they
don't care. But if you're some broke kid in Idaho downloading music and
burning a CD how are you going to get money out of him/her? That's what
record companies hate.
