That has always been viewed from the consumer perspective.

If you look at it from the producers' perspective, you'll see their right
to withhold their creative
content until you pay something back.

While the terminology is not correct, it doesn't mean you can abuse it and
expect people
to waste time for you.


Another thing to note, if artists, software companies etc were so nice to
actually want
to give all this stuff for free, I'm pretty sure no one is forcing them to
sell their content.
So don't talk about the they're not loosing anything bullshit to me.

 If you buy an album used, the seller generally loses possession of
 it, you gain possession of it at a reduced cost, and the original
 purchase still gave the original seller and producer value. Value has
 still been exchanged, assuming no literal theft was involved to make
 the whole thing criminal anyway. If you make a copy, you're pretty
 much creating (or, if you prefer, *re*-creating) value out of
 basically nothing using source material, but nothing of value goes
 back to the original creator of what was copied.

Except that there are plenty of legal and unquestionably ethical
situations where things are copied without any transfer of value to the
original creator.  Nothing is created in a vacuum; musicians are
inspired by other musicians, film makers by other film makers, authors
by authors, etc.  Nobody is so original that they can claim that their
creative work did not borrow ideas from other creative work.

Moreover, even copying a work in its entirety may fall under fair use;
when was the last time you paid royalties for the use of the Happy
Birthday song?  

 
  2) Who gets those profits, the artist, the label, or the RIAA?  Are
  you stealing profits from the artist, or are you stealing them from
  somebody
 else
  who was attemting to steal them from the artist?
 
 All of the above; while the companies' creative accounting is almost
 criminally bullshit, the artist *still* gets a cut and even a profit
 if they do well enough. As a nasty little bonus, any profit taken
 from those companies will never, ever be seen by the artist
 regardless. There is a 100% better chance of an artist receiving
 money via a record company getting paid for the artist's work than a
 record company *not* getting paid from the artist's work. It's gotta
 come from somewhere. So if you're screwing them and they're screwing
 the artist, you just wind up making them screw the artist that much
 harder.

This is not as clear-cut as one might think.  Musicians make a lot of
money doing live shows, and a live show is an experience that cannot be
downloaded.  Attendance at live shows is driven by the popularity of
the musicians, which is increased by downloading as much as it is
increased by radio broadcasting, if not more.  One of the major
criticisms of Metallica's lawsuit against Napster users was that in
their early days, Metallica became popular because people would record
them at their concerts and distribute the recordings.

The way I see it, the way we cling to copyrights and try to protect
industries that were built on the copyright system when we now have
computers and computer networks is equivalent to hiring scribes and
protecting their jobs in an age of printing presses.  Copyrights were a
great idea back when copying creative works required specialized
industrial equipment.  Since that is no longer the case, we should
instead be investigating new systems for promoting art and science and
building new industries around such systems.  Copyrights are not going
to die overnight, just like scribes continued to be employed for some
time after the printing press spread, but eventually copyrights are
going to die -- or else computers and global computer networks are
going to have to die.  I doubt that technology can be rolled back, but
creating a new legal framework does not seem to be infeasible.

 These arguments do more harm than good.  You can't base property law

This is not a discussion about property law, it is a discussion about
copyrights.  Copyrights, at least in my country, are very much
different from property rights:

1. Property rights never expire; copyrights are required to expire by
the constitution.

2. Property rights are not optional, but automatic; copyrights are an
optional system according to the constitution, and if Congress wanted
to they could do away with copyrights.

 But if you were not going to pay full price, that doesn't
 give you any right to steal it.  That is simply absurd.  

This is not a discussion about stealing either.  We do not charge
people with theft/robbery/larceny/etc. when they download or share
music, even when they do so on a felony scale.

 But whether or not the behavior ends up
 benefiting the industry or not is irrelevant; I've still broken the
 law.  

That is up to a judge; copyright cases must be heard by a judge, who
decides whether or not a particular act of copying is fair use (or at
least that was the original theory).

 That's where is should end, but it doesn't.  Sharing music not
 purchased is already illegal.

Not always; Wikipedia has a large selection of public domain music
available for download, as do many other sources.  There is music that
is licensed under one of various creative commons licenses.

 The companies already have legal remedies available.

Which are not appropriate for dealing with cases of home users
downloading and sharing music/etc.  Copyright law is designed to be
heard in front of a judge, with expensive lawyers arguing the case;
there is no way that such a system could possibly work to prevent
individual people from downloading/sharing and everyone knows it.  The
RIAA sought such huge, headline grabbing damages in an attempt to scare
people away from P2P, and even that failed -- they just damaged their
reputation and drove people to use file sharing websites, which are
shielded by the DMCA.

This is not to say that the law should be strengthened or that the
government should be hijacked to further the interests of copyright
holders.  This just means that copyright is out of date and needs to be
completely overhauled.  Unfortunately, the people who are supposed to
benefit from the copyright system, the general public, have nothing
close to the political and financial power that the copyright industry
lobbyists have.

The best compromise I can think of is to treat noncommercial copyright
infringement like a parking violation:  you get a ticket for some small
but annoying amount of money.  That is the only way to enforce a law
that everyone is meant to follow and that anyone can easily break.  It
is absurd to think that our judicial system can handle the volume of
cases that would be required to enforce copyrights, and the other
option is to just let the old industries die (which is probably not a
bad idea).

 The fun begins when the record companies start sniping each other.

That is how it is supposed to be.

 Remember when The Verve got their pants sued of by the Rolling Stones
 copyright holder for Bittersweet Symphony?  It was a clean cut case
 of copyright infringement.  What if SOPA or the next round of it does
 pass - will ABKCO Records legally be able to get Hut Records entire
 web site shut down?

The point of SOPA is to kill the Internet; that is what all these laws
and government actions are building towards.  The old media giants do
not want to die, and they know that a network where anyone can share
entertainment with anyone else will ultimately kill them.  What they
would prefer is something like the cable TV system:  a network where
the consumers are only able to consume.  They love the cable TV system
because they only have to deal with other corporations, who can be
taken to court where copyright law can be reasonably applied.

Then tell me what they lost.  Can you prove that someone who downloaded
a song would have spent money on the song if it had not been available
for download?  The argument that losses are incurred for every download
has always been baseless and always will be.

Really though, what difference does it make if copyright industries are
losing money?  When last I checked, the stagecoach industry lost lots
of money when the automobile was invented.  Would you claim that people
were stealing from stagecoach drivers by failing to support that
industry and instead using their cars?  Are you crying foul when people
use digital cameras and incur losses for the film industry?  Who was
stealing from all those sheet music copyists and printers who lost
their jobs because of the recording industry?

Industries need to adapt to the times, or else they die.  What makes
recording, movie production, etc. so special?

 the crucial point that underlies our social concept of theft - if I take it 
 from
 you, you don't have it anymore.

 If I copy an album that isn't worth the sticker price, and which I would not
 have purchased at that price, two things of note happen:

 1) As much as the labels wish it were so, they can't count that as lost
 revenue because it wouldn't have acccrued to them anyhow, any more than a car
 dealership can legitimately call it lost revenue if I walk onto their lot,
 tell the salescritter they're crazy if they think I'll pay $28K for a given
 car, and walk off the lot. (Now, if they want to count the Damn, we lost the
 $4.99 that guy *would* have paid if we charged that instead of $14.99, 
 they're
 welcome to that. :)

 2) More importantly, they still have the original bits and are free to look
 for other suckers who *will* pay $14.99.

the shop can supplement the stolen CD for much less than 14.99, and
also manufacturing a cd cost much less.
the price not only contains the material value of the given product,
but it is an arbitrary number, which was calculated based on the cost
of the production(and marketing, and shipping, and etc.) costs of the
product, and on the demand and pricing of that kind of product, so
basically the market.

the difference with the digital goods that there is no material part
of the package, so it could seem that there is no theft and no loss of
revenue.
which could be true, if only those would pirate, who otherwise
wouldn't/couldn't buy the product, which imo is not true.

 Another thing to note, if artists, software companies etc were so
 nice to actually want
 to give all this stuff for free, I'm pretty sure no one is forcing
 them to sell their content.
 So don't talk about the they're not loosing anything bullshit to me.

 Then tell me what they lost.  Can you prove that someone who downloaded
 a song would have spent money on the song if it had not been available
 for download?  The argument that losses are incurred for every download
 has always been baseless and always will be.

if you steal a bottle of milk, you can argue that it was right before
the shop closing, and the warranty would have expired before they
could sell it to somebody else, and demand them to prove it
otherwise...


 Really though, what difference does it make if copyright industries are
 losing money?  When last I checked, the stagecoach industry lost lots
 of money when the automobile was invented.  Would you claim that people
 were stealing from stagecoach drivers by failing to support that
 industry and instead using their cars?  Are you crying foul when people
 use digital cameras and incur losses for the film industry?  Who was
 stealing from all those sheet music copyists and printers who lost
 their jobs because of the recording industry?

 Industries need to adapt to the times, or else they die.  What makes
 recording, movie production, etc. so special?

 Copyrights exist for consumers, at least according to the US
 constitution: snip

And? I'm talking about the simple fact that the producer has the right
to earn money from his creation. Copyright is just a tool.

 Copyrights do not exist for the benefit of producers; that is only a
 means to an end.  The point of the copyright system is to benefit the
 general public.

Exactly. So, in your own words, producers are at a loss.

 ...which is not the same as their right to prevent you from making
 copies of their work.

Oh come on. Who are you trying to feed that to?
You know damn well current court cases target 'copyright infringement'
for non-personal usesuch as copying such material and selling it for
profit.

Why don't you just admit many people out there are afraid of loosing
their little racket?

 Then tell me what they lost.  Can you prove that someone who downloaded
 a song would have spent money on the song if it had not been available
 for download?  The argument that losses are incurred for every download
 has always been baseless and always will be.

Can you prove that a company/group can live on by handing out free copies
of their song on the internet? How many companies out there do that?

 Industries need to adapt to the times, or else they die.  What makes
 recording, movie production, etc. so special?

Lets turn this to a different parallel issue, open source. Last I checked,
income for opensource projects tend to come from one of the following:
- advertisements
- paid support
- training

How many such activities play well with records companies?

Actually, *most* bands that make money do so off the concert tours - tickets and
tshirts is where the actual money is at, not the album sales.

So why bother with album sales in the first place?

This is the same with free/commercial software. At the end of the day
the creator decides
the sales strategy.


The only thing I can see in this is that the recording industry really
needs to grow up
to the times, but piracy is not a solution nor the means to one, just
like DDoSing facebook
is not the means to the removal of a certain bill/law (arguably, to
the contrary).

The recording companies have every right to retaliate just as the FBI
has every right to
arrest suspects involved in these childish acts.
