No. Records cost money because records cost you money to produce. It costs you nothing if someone somehow replicates the music that is produced when that record is played. The product you are selling when you sell a record is a RECORD. The "music" isn't even on there; it is in the air and in your brain when you play it on a turntable. Otherwise it's just grooves on vinyl. What I am saying is that it seems strange that you could claim sole ownership of the vibrations in the air that I experience as music. -----Original Message----- From: John Reading [mailto:john.reading@us.didata.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 12:10 PM To: idm@hyperreal.org Subject: RE: [idm] Indie Ethics I'm confused.
