It shouldn't be all about the money, but it is because it takes so much money to make a quality album, by quality instruments, recording gear and engineers and musicians who have went to school, or worked for thousands of hours to have the professional experience needed to make a good product. We don't walk into a store and grab a loaf of bread, walk out saying, it shouldn't be all about the money. We can't project our principles on other people's pockets, that is how too many cookies crumble.

>> The Law
>>
>>
>> Unauthorized Copying is Against the Law
>>
>> Copyright law protects the value of creative work. When you make
>> unauthorized copies of someone’s creative work, you are taking
>> something of value from the owner without his or her permission. Most
>> likely, you’ve seen the FBI warning about unauthorized copying at the
>> beginning of a movie DVD. Though you may not find these messages on
>> all compact discs or music you’ve downloaded from the Internet, the
>> same laws apply. Federal law provides severe civil and criminal
>> penalties for the unauthorized reproduction, distribution, rental or
>> digital transmission of copyrighted sound recordings. (Title 17,
>> United States Code, Sections 501 and 506).
>>
>> What the Law Says and What it Means
>>
>> Making unauthorized copies of copyrighted music recordings is against
>> the law and may subject you to civil and criminal liability. A civil
>> law suit could hold you responsible for thousands of dollars in
>> damages. Criminal charges may leave you with a felony record,
>> accompanied by up to five years of jail time and fines up to $250,000.
>> You may find this surprising. After all, compact discs may be easily
>> be copied multiple times with inexpensive CD-R burning technology.
>> Further, when you’re on the Internet, digital information can seem to
>> be as free as air. U.S. copyright law does in fact provide full
>> protection of sound recordings, whether they exist in the form of
>> physical CD’s or digital files. Regardless of the format at issue,
>> the same basic principle applies: music sound recordings may not be
>> copied or distributed without the permission of the owner.
>>
>> What the Courts Have to Say
>>
>> A long series of court rulings has made it very clear that uploading
>> and downloading copyrighted music without permission on P2P networks
>> constitutes infringement and could be a crime.
>>
>> Common Examples of Online Copyright Infringement:
>> ◦You make an MP3 copy of a song because the CD you bought expressly
>> permits you to do so. But then you put your MP3 copy on the Internet,
>> using a file-sharing network, so that millions of other people can
>> download it.
>> ◦Even if you don’t illegally offer recordings to others, you join a
>> file-sharing network and download unauthorized copies of all the
>> copyrighted music you want for free from the computers of other
>> network members.
>> ◦In order to gain access to copyrighted music on the computers of
>> other network members, you pay a fee to join a file-sharing network
>> that isn’t authorized to distribute or make copies of copyrighted
>> music. Then you download unauthorized copies of all the music you
>> want.
>> ◦You transfer copyrighted music using an instant messenging service.
>> ◦You have a computer with a CD burner, which you use to burn copies of
>> music you have downloaded onto writable CDs for all of your friends.
>> ◦Somebody you don’t even know e-mails you a copy of a copyrighted song
>> and then you turn around and e-mail copies to all of your friends.
>>
>> Do The Crime, Do The Time
>> If you do not have legal permission, and you go ahead and copy or
>> distribute copyrighted music anyway, you can be prosecuted in criminal
>> court and/or sued for damages in civil court.
>> ◦Criminal penalties for first-time offenders can be as high as five
>> years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
>> ◦Civil penalties can run into many thousands of dollars in damages and
>> legal fees. The minimum penalty is $750 per song.
>>
>> The "No Electronic Theft Law" (NET Act) is similar on copyright
>> violations that involve digital recordings:
>> ◦Criminal penalties can run up to five years in prison and/or $250,000
>> in fines, even if you didn’t do it for monetary or financial or
>> commercial gain.
>> ◦If you did expect something in return, even if it just involves
>> swapping your files for someone else’s, as in MP3 trading, you can be
>> sentenced to as much as five years in prison.
>> ◦Regardless of whether you expected to profit, you’re still liable in
>> civil court for damages and lost profits of the copyright holder.
>> ◦Or the copyright holders can sue you for up to $150,000 in statutory
>> damages for each of their copyrighted works that you illegally copy or
>> distribute.
>>
>> If you make digital copies of copyrighted music on your computer
>> available to anyone through the Internet without the permission of the
>> copyright holder, you’re stealing. And if you allow a P2P file-sharing
>> network to use part of your computer’s hard drive to store copyrighted
>> recordings that anyone can access and download, you’re on the wrong
>> side of the law.
>>
>> Having the hardware to make unauthorized music recordings doesn’t give
>> you the right to steal. Music has value for the artist and for
>> everyone who works in the industry.

>> When It Comes to Copying Music, What’s Okay … And What’s Not:
>>
>> Technology has made digital copying easier than ever. But just because
>> advances in technology make it possible to copy music doesn’t mean
>> it’s legal to do so. Here are tips on how to enjoy the music while
>> respecting rights of others in the digital world. Stick with these,
>> and you’ll be doing right by the people who created the music.
>>
>> Internet Copying
>> ◦It’s okay to download music from sites authorized by the owners of
>> the copyrighted music, whether or not such sites charge a fee.
>> ◦Visit our list of Legal Music Sites or Music United for a list of a
>> number legal and safe sites where permission is granted and content is
>> available for downloading.
>> ◦It’s never okay to download unauthorized music from pirate sites (web
>> or FTP) or peer-to-peer systems. Examples of peer-to-peer systems
>> making unauthorized music available for download include: Ares,
>> BitTorrent, Gnutella, Limewire, and Morpheus.
>> ◦It’s never okay to make unauthorized copies of music available to
>> others (that is, uploading music) on peer-to-peer systems.
>>
>> Copying CDs
>> ◦It’s okay to copy music onto an analog cassette, but not for
>> commercial purposes.
>> ◦It’s also okay to copy music onto special Audio CD-R’s, mini-discs,
>> and digital tapes (because royalties have been paid on them) – but,
>> again, not for commercial purposes.
>> ◦Beyond that, there’s no legal "right" to copy the copyrighted music
>> on a CD onto a CD-R. However, burning a copy of CD onto a CD-R, or
>> transferring a copy onto your computer hard drive or your portable
>> music player, won’t usually raise concerns so long as:
>> ◦The copy is made from an authorized original CD that you legitimately
>> own ◦The copy is just for your personal use. It’s not a personal use –
>> in fact, it’s illegal – to give away the copy or lend it to others for
>> copying.
>>
>> ◦The owners of copyrighted music have the right to use protection
>> technology to allow or prevent copying.
>> ◦Remember, it’s never okay to sell or make commercial use of a copy
>> that you make.
>>
>> Are there occasionally exceptions to these rules? Sure. A "garage" or
>> unsigned band might want you to download its own music; but, bands
>> that own their own music are free to make it available legally by
>> licensing it. And, remember that there are lots of authorized sites
>> where music can be downloaded for free. Better to be safe than sorry –
>> don’t assume that downloading or burning is legal just because
>> technology makes it possible.
>>
>> Enjoy the music. By doing the right thing, you’ll be doing your part
>> to make sure that the music keeps coming.
>>
