I think the same thing sometimes. The copyrighted music I download is
all stuff that's been around for some time, and I don't see anything
wrong about that, but at the same time I can understand why artists
might not want to take a completely anti-copyright stand. I would like
to see scientific journals and serious periodicals like the New
Scientist distributed like this, for example - they could make their
money selling to the people who want the latest news right now, but
after some time, they would become a resource for everyone to use.
