Copyright laws have for years allowed people to trade music with each other for personal use.
The modern file swapping systems (WinMx, Morpheus, Gnutella, etc.), unlike Napster, are simply a method of trading music over a modem instead of on a cassette.
I also find it ironic that so many left wing musicians, dead set on capitalism in any other industry, suddenly start screaming about property rights when it's their pocket book.
Touché...
I am unaware of this claim. Please direct me to where I might find out information concerning this. thanks
No it doesn't. Does the copyright law allow you to photocopy "Gone With the Wind" and trade that for someone else's photocopy of "Of Mice and Men"?
