Everyone who listens to music needs to READ THIS!

60. Making a digital copy of an existing recording, which may have taken literally...

...hundreds of hours of time & effort, plus maybe some talent to produce, not to mention the money spent on recording studios/equipment and so on, is not at all comparable to making your own loaf of bread and comparing that to a lost sale of some other loaf of bread in a store somewhere, or to some chef with a secret recipe which may not be copyrighted, but which you likely do not know all of the ingredients and how much of each ingredient goes into the recipe.

Try again, no cigar. Better yet, stop trying to justify copyright theft.

Dvds/blu rays of movies, documentaries and tv shows, visual art and graphics (fine art or commercial art), books and manuscripts, etc etc, all deserve copyright protections for the same reasons. People have gone to jail, rightfully, for bootlegging/counterfeiting all of the above, deservedly so.

You're really stretching here, into a distortion.

You're still wrong and ethically/morally challenged, in my view.
