Copyright

I've never really had a problem with copyright music. I don't download music illegally, but I do get cds from friends. I never thought of that as copyright infringement, but I guess it is. Since my friend has already bought the music and makes a cd and I copy, I don't think RIAA can track it. I guess technically I am still breaking the law though. I never really thought about it before! It seems kind of ridiculous when you think of it, but I guess the artists are missing out on revenue they would have earned if I had bought it. Do they really need it though? Most I would say don't, but then there are the newer artists that are just starting out. And without a clear definition of popularity from sales, they might be wary of making more music. Now that I know more about copyright laws, I can be more aware of my actions!
