By downloading a song, you are creating a new copy. If you are not given the right to do this, it is copyright infringement.
What a sad misunderstanding. You don't know how the internet works.
When you visit a page on the internet, you download it. you are not violating copyright by downloading it. otherwise, you wouldn't be able to read it.
You are downloading songs from Last FM and Pandora. Otherwise, you wouldn't hear sweet rhythms in your ears.
Here's an even weirder one. What if I set up a site and link to MP3 files proclaiming free promotional downloads. The downloader/listener maybe has no knowledge of my ruse to reference copyrighted material incorrectly labelled as libre. Do you check to make sure Pandora or Last FM or-- (god forbid) Itunes has licenses?
Then there's streaming, caching, indexing, offline browsing, linking, et al.
Copyright is not defined correctly for digital information.
Medical Marijuana is illegal. In EVERY state. Period.... Interstate Commerce laws trump any state law.
Back to reality. Medical marijuana is legal in Michigan law. So far, the federal government hasn't prosecuted. For all intents, you're not going to jail.
Open source malware is important for the security of the targeted systems.
If unnamed corporate software monopoly discovers hole via malware, and doesn't release a notification (let alone patch), everyone else can discover that hole as well.
If all malware writers were so inclined to help the public protect against their malware.

regulating resellers is a bad thing when original sellers have a monopoly or are generally not being regulated themselves.
the benefits of freedom are never outweighed by abusers of the freedom.
you read it wrong.
scalpers may be assholes.
but they are a necessary evil so we don't lose the freedom of first sale.
Allowing anyone to buy and sell tickets does in every way make it better for consumers.
These are market freedoms need protecting.
I don't care who is buying the tickets.
Or if they are usually charging more than face value.
I'm not allowed to buy all the new copies of Twilight and charge you twice as much?
I sure as fuck can.
Take your fascist corporate overlord market ideology somewhere else, buddy.
Man, you guys are just too used to Microsoft EULAs.
All this talk of no sympathy for scalpers.
Might as well add used book retailers, music traders, software peddlers, refurbished computer sellers.
Just because it's easy to not like scalpers, you are trying to deny consumer choice.
You're part of the problem, assholes.

Seriously, do we want open source malware?
Yes, yes we do.
Open source malware is important for the security of the targeted systems.
If unnamed corporate software monopoly discovers hole via malware, and doesn't release a notification (let alone patch), everyone else can discover that hole as well.
If all malware writers were so inclined to help the public protect against their malware.
PCI
only relevant to the end stores ... rules do not apply to the big name at the top
Um. Ur wrong. It's relevant for everyone not Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover. TJX et al have way heavy PCI fines.
Let's all rush those fuckers and see who wins.
Read the pirated copy.
Save a tree.
If you feel guilty, send some money to the author.

Let's everyone stop posting TOS on our collective webbage.
Noone reads it. Noone follows it (if there's reason not to).
Same goes for EULA and similar.
Stop it. Stop it!
