If you torrent your music and you use it in a for profit manner Posted on: 08.01.2012 by Joie Cantillon you are a fucking thief and a piece of shit on top of it. You realize that you are stealing tools, right? | |

Copyright holders frequently refer to copyright infringement as "theft." In copyright law, infringement does not refer to actual theft, but an instance where a person exercises one of the exclusive rights of the copyright holder without authorization.[5] Courts have distinguished between copyright infringement and theft, holding, for instance, in the United States Supreme Court case Dowling v. United States (1985) that bootleg phonorecords did not constitute stolen property and that "interference with copyright does not easily equate with theft, conversion, or fraud. The Copyright Act even employs a separate term of art to define one who misappropriates a copyright... 'an infringer of the copyright.'" In the case of copyright infringement the province guaranteed to the copyright holder by copyright law is invaded, i.e. exclusive rights, but no control, physical or otherwise, is taken over the copyright, nor is the copyright holder wholly deprived of using the copyrighted work or exercising the exclusive rights held.[

| Latoria Kavulich 08.01.2012 | heheh |
| Lisa Lochotzki 08.01.2012 | You torrent, you're a cunt, an asshole, period. Steal food, gas, electricity while you're so good at it. Legalize euthanasia for those who decided to create blog, torrent, P2P and Shazam. (ok I know it sound harsh, but... freedom of speech) |
| Latoria Kavulich 08.01.2012 | All the music i use for recordings and gigs are legit. If you don't at least give the artists that much respect then .. |

| Spencer Kilcoyne 08.01.2012 | One of the reasons I blog is to have a legitimate way of getting hold of a load of tracks for free - the labels send #em to me. Works for me, I scribble words about the ones I like in return for free tunes, they get exposure ... |
| Valentin Doong 08.01.2012 | I pirate all my music. Bite me. |
| Johnsie Kingrea 08.01.2012 | I torrent, pay for djcity, and buy on iTunes/Beatport. Since I have started making money from DJing I do try to buy more tunes now. While some of you may disagree I probably won't stop torrenting because the harsh reality is that most DJ's do it. If another DJ is building their library for free and I pay for all mine I will definitely have less to work with. But I believe the biggest downside of torrenting is it turns you into a hoarder. You blindly download a lot of stuff you don't really need. I've noticed that when I have a beatport coupon or iTunes card i'm much more picky and more critical of what I purchase. I usually end up really pleased with my selection. While torrenting or even DJCity I tend to download something if it sounds "good" but it may not be a great. |
| Latoria Kavulich 08.01.2012 | If i see someone's screen and see "somethingsomethingsomething@blogspot" in the track comments i go back to my drink and jealous indignation lol |
