bought on tape cassette, cd, or recorded off the radio
considering the fact that most of those songs would be discovered on radio and mtv i would bet it almost 100% if not 100%.
How else would they know what songs to download if they didn't hear it from a paid for source.
once it paid for, then recovering it is just fair use.
except we are not talking about an existing law we are talking about creating new law which as both kane and red have both shown is known to destroy freedoms the founding father defined as important.

Would you stop looking at a digital product the same as physical one? When you buy an album or movie, you're paying the maker's fee to put in it your stupid ear/eyeholes and enjoy it -- and support them so they can make more music/movies(or whatever) that you love to consume.
Just because something is already out in the world doesn't mean you can just make a copy of it and let everyone else see it.
You are so dense, and you just twist logic to make everything suit your utopic idea which is basically a world where you don't have to pay for anything -- which suits a person with no ability to actually create just fine.
--and what the fuck is this "fair use industry" you talk about? Is that how you make your money, by leeching off of those with creativity and talent?
