WIY
” download music off the Internet that one didn’t pay for is stealing”
What are u baseing ur statement on? I hope it’s not on the fact that he didn’t pay for it. Let me ask u this. A goy goes to the store and buy a cd, he makes 100 copies of it and throws them all over the street, are u WIY going to tell me that it is stealing for Someone to pick up one of those CDs?!
I’m not gonna pretend that I am a big enough Posek to pasken this Shaylah which has already be debated by people far greater than me. All I originally said was that it’s not so simple that it’s assur that like the wolf assumed.
To you well informed yid, I know u from past forums and even watched you have a great debate of my last screen name, if yushka was a rasha or not, you seem to stand confidently behind ur screen name and I must say sometimes u make it sound like ur not so well informed. The premis for the shayla of downloading music is the first guy to copy the CD and upload it online is in violation of the copyright. But NOW that it has already been uploaded and is floating around the Web, who’s is to say I cant download it now?
This is without getting involoved with the shayla if there is even such a thing as someone copyrighting an idea or in this case a niggun.
Unless u change ur name to ” well informed Posek” I would be careful what i say.
P.s. Not a discussion here but goyish music vs today ” Jewish music” perhaps the goyish stuff is better, at least u know it’s goyish but when u have Jewish singers singing certain songs by wedding u can see the rabbis singing along to a lady gaga song! They don’t even chop what’s happening to them!
And the YouTube chillul hashem to follow
