Sony BMG Says Ripping CDs is Stealing

http://slashdot.org/articles/07/10/03/1221213.shtml

I guess Sony doesnt think twice about stealing a space of folks computers when they implant spyware.

I guess somebody should tell Sony about all the devices Sony produces that allow this stealing to occur


I love that quote.:sqlaugh::sqlaugh::sqlaugh::sqlaugh: :BangHead:

Let's see:
Sony sells
CD-R
CD-RW
DVD-R
DVD-RW
Cassette's
Tape Recorders
VCR's
Videocassettes
Computers
etc.
Some people should have their mouths stitched so they cannot talk and prove their own double standard.

If they dont want us to RIP them.... why dont they just sell the music to us in a FORMAT that we can use???????

Because we are all pirates and therefore will just make the music available to more pirates.... or we'll get together in a collective and download everything and share with one another while only paying for one copy..... didn't you know all DJs pirate and all DJs are pirates....:sqwink:

Oh ya... like we are their largest fear.... Have they even bothered to look into any middle, junior, or high school recently????????? I would imagine that in any of the above given schoolS there is MORE illegally shared music then in our ENTIRE industry in North America!

Oh well.... It’s a good thing we don’t promote their artists.... Oh wait, we do!... Why aren’t we getting their music in OUR desired format... for FREE?????? :sqerr:

Because the companies are GREEDY, a DJ plays the music and promotes what's hot. These greedy SOB's don't realize that it's not only the radio that promotes the songs, it's the DJ at the parties. All this BS that one copy is stealing even if it's for personal use is just sad.

These people are insane. They do everything they can to promote illegal activity. If I buy a song, I'm going to do what I want with it. Fair use in my book.

Have cake... expect to eat it.

I just made a copy of the article, I guess I'll be in big trouble now! :sqembarrassed:

Coming from Sony, that's rich. :rolleyes:

Sony was at the forefront of the "copy battles" with their marketing of the Betamax videotape machines in the mid '70s. Now that they're aboard the music bandwagon, all that is supposed to change?

This has nothing to do with what's right or what's wrong. It's all about stock price.
