I beg to differ Mansfield...
Lord Mansfield on sheet music:
"A person may use the copy by playing it, but has no right to rob the author of the profit, by multiplying copies and disposing of them for his own use".
Not to encourage the anti-piracy police or anything, but I just dont see logic in that. If anything it supports people's statements in our discussions that the anti-piracy laws arent here to protect artists, it's about making money for the shareholders. If we're going to use this sheet music theory as an analogy, what about cover bands being paid to play at a venue? Or those lone, older musicians parked on a curb at local festivals, accepting cash/coins in their wide open carrying cases?
