Ok, if this turns into a flame fest, I'm sorry. Didn't mean it to be,
Ok....I was just thinking but...should "free" music distribution be legal? I don't mean distribution where you can go and download any song regardless of wheter you pay for it, I mean like "song emulation" for example, supposedly, at least what I've heard, (tell me if I'm wrong) emulation is actually legal because everybody is entitled to a back up copy of a game, so if your able to download some old Nintendo game because your entitled to a back up copy, why can't you do the same with music? Furthermore, emulation lets you play video games that other wise might not work, for example say your old Dreamcast breaks down, and you can't play any of your old, favorite games because Dreamcasts are no longer sold, the same could be said with music, although not as much, I don't know about you, but I still have some old records sitting around with songs that I like, and it would be nice to convert them to MP3 format so I could listen to them on my MP3 player, but my Record player doesn't hook up to my computer, and players are hard to find, because lets face it, records are old and outdated. But, you still paid for the songs right?
