Do you work for the RIAA or the MPAA?

yeah, it's a bit of a slippery slope. Some think along the lines of "hey, this is not the original, it's a copy" or "the quality of the file that reproduces the audio track is not exactly as the original", but it's a line of defence that normally works only if you have a lot of money, ordinary people get a "hahaha! Nice try Larry!"..
Then there's the whole thing about intellectual property: it's like the music on Spotify, which is not "all the music in the world" cos certain labels or artists deliberately do not want to be there, so they patch it up with "tribute bands".. how lame is that? And above all, why isn't that infringing intellectual property? Cos I paid a royalty for it?
Good ol' Elvis was right when he used to sing "well it's 1 for the money, 2 for the show"..
