Music Pirates Won't Rush To iCloud For Forgiveness

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the forgive-me-steve-for-i-have-sinned dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Lots of people have suggested there's a loophole in Apple's new iCloud that will allow people who illegally download music to somehow 'launder' their dirty music files, getting a nice clean, and legal, license to the music stored on iCloud. This argument is flawed for two main reasons. The first has to do with how the laws of copyright work and the second is to do with why people share or download music (and movies) in the first place."

    True audiophiles only listen to the voices in their heads.
