That's a good question.I used to tape off of records that I bought to listen in my car and I didn't think anything was wrong with that since I had already bought the record .
There is an interesting phenomenom happening in the music industry right now that not many people have touched on.We have recording artists who are not getting royalties because of file sharing(this may change with iTunes) yet at the same time,these very artists are getting tons of exposure they probably wouldn't have received if not for the internet.
I have changed my opinion to the point where as long as people don't profit from someone elses free music,then I don't see file sharing as such a bad thing.Times are a changin' and change is good.It doesn't mean that musicians should provide great music then not have money to feed their families,but by the same token,anytime someone is getting exposure,there are so many other avenues to make money because of that very exposure..
