***What you are really saying is “why buy it, if I can get it free!” which goes back to the point of taking away a sale from someone.***
Is there a leniency for copying music that a person would have no interest in buying themselves? Let’s say the person only has so much money and is not interested in your style of music and you’re introducing them to it or it’s not a money question it’s just they would absolutely never buy it but you think it would be good for them to hear.
Personally it took me awhile to get used to Jewish music. If we wanted to use this as a kiruv tool would it be not allowed to buy a copy but then distribute it to people who at this stage wouldn’t buy it? In a way you’re possibly increasing Jewish sales of music in the future.
Thanks for your answers.
