Fiat_Voluntas_Tua Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 There is no difference in burning a CD and stealing a CD...in both situations you obtain the CD by not purchasing it. Pax et Agape per Mariam, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Whoever voted no, I'd be interested in hearing their reasoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rev Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Dave, So would I! I know, Catholicity.com encourages for you to make copies of their tapes and cd's but of course that's different, since it's meant to help build up the kingdom of God.

CreepyCrawler Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 well you could read the question as just downloading music in general and there are some artists who make music available for downloading/burning without purchase. maybe someone read the question that way?

IcePrincessKRS Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Some services where you download music you also have to pay a fee for (like the new version of napster) and you can DL a whole CD, its perfectly legal so in that sense no, its not a sin to burn it on a CD. (FYI, I didn't vote no.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winchester Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 Is it stealing to tape a song playing on the radio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OwNeD_byGoD Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 ok, so my question is would it still be considered stealing if a friend bought a cd and made you a copy (he isnt charging you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomProddy Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 (edited) [quote name='thywillbedone7' date='May 16 2004, 10:18 PM'] There is no difference in burning a CD and stealing a CD...in both situations you obtain the CD by not purchasing it. Pax et Agape per Mariam, Andy [/quote] I burned a CD of some of the work I was doing for college. According to you I'm breaking the law, despite me buying the CD and all the work on it being from my hands. May I suggest you get a clue.

Sojourner Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 If you purchase a CD, you are allowed to make a copy of it for your own personal use (in the car, for example) and you are allowed to give those copies to friends as long as you do not charge them. I see nothing wrong with borrowing a copy of a CD from a friend if my intent is to listen to it for the purpose of deciding whether or not I wish to purchase the CD for myself. If I like the CD, I buy it. If I don't, I am not out the $15 I would have been in buying the CD, and I can give the copy back. Now, if a person's entire CD collection consisted of copies of CDs, and he or she had no intention of purchasing those CDs, then I'd say a person needs to examine their motives. (For the record, I currently have no copies in my collection.) I have a friend, for example, who would love to listen to a CD I have. He has four young children, so I am loathe to let him borrow the original CD because I like it and don't want it to get accidentally destroyed. In this instance, I would have no problem in making a copy and loaning it to my friend in lieu of loaning the original. Is this stealing? I would argue that I am protecting the investment I made in the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmotherofpirl Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I burn CD's of music I already own and considering I own more than 200 record albums, I can burn quite a lot. Please explain the difference beween copying a song off the TV or radio, and copying one my friend sends me over the net? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
