Mr. Clinton, in case you haven't figured this out yet:

YOUR willie in HER mouth equals "SEXUAL RELATIONS."

[Dominic Harr]

My point exactly -- you're using words to imply things that aren't true.

"Sharing is stealing" is the same as "Oral Sex isn't Sex".

The words have meanings.

Oral Sex is Sex.

And making a copy is not stealing.

[The Grammarian]

Actually, it equals sodomy.

Personally, I think the music industry benefits by the trading of MP3s as more people are exposed to the music, many of which will eventually purchase the CD . . .

A recent Business Week article stated that over 60% of teenagers under the age of 18 get all or most of their music from file swapping. I have friends that haven't bought CDs in over 5 years.

You just can't argue with logic like this when people on the same side argue both sides of the street. So I won't.

And posting a defense of the RIAA is murder. Theft of an article entails depriving the original owner of its use. Copying a recording does not take away anything tangible from the owner of the original recording. He still has the article said to have been 'stolen'.

If copying articles were theft, it would be covered under common law and would be prosecuted by the states; in fact, establishment of copyright law is specifically set out as a Federal power.

You're butchering the language.
