Well have you seen Napster.com. It deals with music and you can download
any song you can think of by the original artist. Is this legal or illegal?
If its illegal then nobody has stopped it and it grows everyday with new
people and all for free. Seems if I own a record I can let you copy it. I
can sell the original cd to you.. I can't make copies to sell myself to you.
