Your post is wrong or irrelevant in every statement except for your

Follow it.

Else
| anyone who ever listened to a streamed media would be doing something
| illegal - since they're stored in the temporary internet files in their
hard
| drive. It's distribution and transport, when you follow all the lingo
down
| to the nitty gritty that's illegal, whether it's for money or not. On top
| of that, you have no way of knowing whether the poster was using an
illegal
| site or not; you're simply making noise over a question that wasn't asked.
|
| ON one more note, there are millions of songs on the 'net that WERE
| copyrighted but which are not any longer. They are then called 'in the
| public domain'. Copyrights expire, believe it or not, and it's not
unusual.
| It's not just a matter of once having put a copyright notice on something.
| I recommend some research on the subject of the reality of copyrights,
| intellectual rights and treademarks, and how relevant they are or are not.
| It's not a simple subject, especially the way you're treating it.
