[Air-l] Downloading music

[Nathaniel Poor]

I thought they read like industry-backed sites, meaning they are very  
one-sided. In the US, these people are determined to hegemonically  
destroy fair use. Personally, I find them very evil. Their approach  
is to broad-brush the issue of copying, so that all copying of *any  
sort* is illegal and immoral.

(I have trimmed most of the thread so it won't go over the 10k limit,  
which happened twice yesterday.)
