for any serious recordings...
on the other hand...
If I share an MP3, I have "stollen" some precioous intellectual
technology.
I find this somewhat ironic.
I don't think you can have it both ways. If MP3s make such bad
copies, then sharing them really isn't stealing anything but noise,,,
right?

If your going to argue that I should be fineed $10,000 for sharing an
MP3, then you are admitting that it must have been a pretty good copy
after all.
2 sides of the coin

Suppose you broke into somebody's house and stole a painting. You got
it home and found it had a dirty mark on it. So that's OK then - it
doesn't matter if you stole it.
Do you mind telling us where you live? I'm sure we could relieve you
of all your slightly less-then-perfect goods. We know you won't mind.
