Feel free to provide the laws that clearly define music copywrites and EXACTLY what can and cannot be done with media that has not been debated about in the past few years. This subject is still being debated.
This was the exact point Cyberguy was making. Opposing sides cannot win anyone's mind by telling them that there is nothing more to discuss and that only one sides' views are correct.
You said earlier that "As you will learn, the "majority" is not always right. "
Perhaps you may also learn that "right" is a relative term. What is more important is what people agree upon, because people united can force change.
The purpose this debate and poll was to provide different points of view and different opinions to influence thinking. One side telling another that they are the only ones who are right will not change anything.
I encourage you all to find more evidence to support your opinion of what is right and wrong. That way, this debate can continue as a healthy discussion on the morality of marketted data and copyrights.
