Recording a bunch of songs you like on a tape for a friend is not illegal. Thats what I mean by a mixtape. See the funny thing is like I said sharing has never been illegal (at least in America) and you can't make an mp3 to share with your friends without first having a copy of the original work. So nobody is really "stealing" anything it's all bullshit they're just fuckin greedy. They purposely over price CD's so they can squeeze more money outta the suckers. It doesn't cost that much to make them some people don't have 20 dollars to waste on a CD that they only want for the 4 out of 15 good songs on it. There was a website put up a while back because the record companies were called out for over pricing their CD's and ya signed on and gave em a claim and if your claim was reasonable they would ship you 20 bucks. They made them do this because they owed the public a very large sum of money that they were forced to pay back and we're the ones "stealing" money from them?? What a fuckin crock.

I wrote a paper about this very thing for college. I got an A

Sorry that has no relevance and is nothing very special either I dunno what I was thinking...oh well..
