Did the MPAA have a duh moment? Not likely. Since day one, all over the internet, it has been constantly brought up that making a copy of a song is not theft. All the copywrong gang has done with that knowledge has been to stick their fingers in their ears and holler na na na na.

The law does not view copying as theft either. The idea of theft goes back as far as there has been a law and before that, to tribal chieftains. Stealing and theft is when you physically take something, denying the owner of the use of his property.

As always, the idea that making a copy was theft had to be entered into law as a change. One that the copywrong gang pushed hard. Before that, copying was not illegal per say. It was only when you went to making money by selling those copies that it was illegal. But the majority of file sharing doesn't deal with money. How do you claim infringement and punitive damages without showing loss of income? You have to make first the false assumption that every down load is a lost sale. But that's not true as many new artists will tell you that file sharing is the new radio. It's how they get heard without having to sell their soul to the devil to do it.

What happened was they got the daffyination changed as to how the file infringers gained in relation to money. The basic alteration was that the copyright holder had not been paid and this was theft, not the actual making a copy, without profit.

It has been under this new and altered definition that the MPAA, the RIAA, and all the rest of the alphabet soup, has pushed theft. One of the major ways they look for is income to a site. Doesn't particularly matter how much as it matters proving any income. You see, if you are profiting from infringement it puts you in a whole 'nother class of activity in what laws apply. You and I know that ads on the net doesn't pay much. You can't expect ads only to pay for the servers. It's not enough. But it is enough to show profit in the strictest sense of the word for the lawyers.

They've known for years and years that copying isn't theft. They've also known for years and years they can't totally eliminate file sharing. All they can do is put a dent in it.

So what's new from the scum of the barrel outfits like the MPAA? That they lie? Or they change definitions of actions and words to suit them? Ha, wish I had a dollar for every time I've read that happen. Maybe I could afford some of those dirt cheap $30 Blueray discs they put movies on.
