Cutting contest, part 2

Professor Hooten, I have to say that accepting illegal copies and full hard drives of music from fellow musicians is a razor fine line indeed. If you say, as you do in your article, that downloading music is wrong because it’s stealing, what is the difference between downloading it through the internet versus another persons hard drive? Would not this still be classified as “stealing” in the eyes of the law? A hard drive “full” of music?! Lets see, the 60GB music library on my home computer is about 7,200 tracks. Now if we assume 10 tracks come on a CD at $10.00 a disc we are talking upwards of $7,000 worth of stolen property in your possession!

We must draw a distinction, however, between stealing and pirating. Unlike stealing, pirating does not necessarily constitute a direct monetary loss to the creator of the product. For example, lets say I develop a faint but persistent interest in hearing the newest Lady Gaga recording. Something where my infatuation is not so great as to actually shell out fifteen bucks for the CD, but enough so that I felt it was worth my while to waltz down to the local music store and steal myself a copy. The CD that I stole represents a direct loss to the store, the record label and the artist. Because I stole the CD, no one will ever be able to purchase that particular copy.

Conversely, pirating the same recording online only constitutes stealing if I ever intended on buying it because there’s no direct monetary loss. It is certainly common for people to expect to be able to hear a CD cover to cover before purchasing it. The fact that record labels have purposely leaked recordings in order to build buzz around a recording is well documented. In addition, many of the records being pirated in the infancy of the MP3 revolution were recordings that people already owned on CD.

Napster was much more accessible and well known in this time period than software that allowed you to convert your CD’s to MP3′s. Interestingly, ‘Fair Use’ copyright law doesn’t explicitly allow the duplication of a CD you own into MP3 format unless expressly permitted either, so it wouldn’t be sure fire way to avoid breaking copyright law.

The truth is that most people pirating music are the same people partially financially driving the industry as well as representing a key demographic for album sales. By releasing albums for streaming and leaking them to internet bloggers before they are available for purchase, the industry is acknowledging the truth that they missed when prosecuting pirates in the Napster versus Metallica era. As the old adage says “No press is bad press”, and in a time when reaching an expansive target audience is more difficult than ever for advertisers, due to the fragmentation in the way we access media, CD length recordings just might be the advertisements of the future.
