It is absurd to compare tune stealing with, for instance, the fight against apartheid in South Africa. The latter was an epic struggle for human dignity. The former is just amoral hedonism masquerading as some kind of Robin Hood redistributive scheme. As for Fair Use, it does not allow people to make illegal copies of copyrighted recordings freely available on a public network. |
