To be fair though I do not believe you can construct a moral argument along the lines of: "If I buy a record various people, including the record company, benefit a great deal more than the recording artist therefore the artist concerned won't mind if I just steal it instead and deprive the artist of even that little he would have had." On the other hand people should be free to choose an alternative license without hassle from those who choose to charge, _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
