Arash -> RE: To share or not to share!?!?! (Dec. 11 2007 5:54:13)

However, you are talking about 2 different subjects: 1) Sharing stuff with new members (like mentioned above) 2) Sharing copyrighted stuff I am honest, i also have many copyrighted stuff for which i have not paid for and there are also many others like me here or elsewhere. In fact, i think the majority of the people have copyrighted stuff for which they have not paid, but they dont talk about it!! But i also have many original CDs, DVDs, etc. In fact, in some cases i first got it for free, liked it and then bought the original CD or DVD, etc. However, i feel guilty if i am honest, because all those artists live from selling their material and imagine that no one buys anything (everything shared for free). They do this for living. And specially in Flamenco, there is not a big market like Pop, etc. So too much sharing is really unfair. Imagine one day you are so good to produce your own CD and then you come to foroflamenco and your material is shared for free. How would you react or feel? But as i mentioned, i also did it and do it. Dont know why. Maybe because the internet world is so abstract and subtile and so not personal[&:].. I mean if someone like Ricardo would record a CD , would you download a copy of it? I wouldnt, because i know him and it would be like betraying somebody you know. However, this discussion would be interesting (but not the other discussion about new members, etc...)
