But the artists and record companies don't make a dime off the sale of a used CD so used cd stores will be the next to come under fire for copyright violation. It is about the money, no ?

Now, let's use that statement you made and look at cover bands. Don't the replay music? Things that make you go hmmm!

OH! Now let's add onto this, the wav and midi files out their that make "elevator music" out of peoples songs.

These are free downloads. So why are they different than mp3?

Matter of fact, I lied on this thread earlier. I said I downloaded one song. According to the language here this evening, it is illegal (well, said to be) to download MP3 files.

The song I downloaded is a wav :)

It is an actually song; but, in wav format.

So, that makes it ok? Right? And if not, what about the elevator versions? I'm listening to one right now :)

Isn't the elevator version much like a cover band? So where do we stop with this law?
