I understand their thinking. In reality, spreading the music around
is probably the best thing for the artist. To witness the work Tony
Steidler-Dennison is doing at roadhousepodcast.com. He gives exposure to musicians that have a Sysuphian up hill climb to recognition.

Teenagers donít think copying CDs is a crime
Aug 18, 2006 8:00 AM

The majority of young people ó even those who refuse to download
pirated media ó see nothing wrong with making a copy of a CD or DVD to
share with friends.

A new poll by the Los Angeles Times and Bloomberg News
found that among teens ages 12 to 17, 69 percent said they believed it
was legal to copy a CD from a friend who purchased the original.

By contrast, only 21 percent said it was legal to copy a CD if
the friend got the content for free. Similarly, 58 percent thought it
was legal to copy a friendís purchased DVD or videotape, but only 19
percent thought copying was legal if the movie wasnít purchased.

The survey results angered the Recording Industry Association
of America and the Motion Picture Association of America. Both contend
such sharing ó they call it ìschoolyard piracyî ó is illegal and now a
greater threat than peer-to-peer downloading.

Evan Collins, 15, expressed his view of the issue: ìI think
youíre allowed to make, like, two or three copies of a CD you bought
and give them to friends,î Collins told the LA Times. ìItís only once you make five copies, or copy a CD of stolen music, that itís illegal.î
