Question: Do you think music distributed on peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks are legitimate copies? I've noticed that many people think that the music files distributed on peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks are legitimate copies for free distribution.\n\nI'm trying to figure out why people think this is true.\n\nFor the record, you are allowed to make a copy of music for your own personal use, but as soon as you give that copy to someone else, this is copyright infringement.

Answer: They are copies of the CD quality sound illegally distributed to others. It's the whole 'redistribution' part thats illegal.but who cares, paying sucks/
