Thats an extremely simplistic and incorrect way of thinking about it. If I spend 10 years of my life developing a therapeutic molecule or drug, only to have someone reverse engineer it, manufacture it, and make money off it, while I received nothing (even if the original recipe is still in my hands) - it most certainly is no different than stealing, and should be treated as a crime. And similarly it is no different for artists and their creations. -- Nikhil ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34928 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
