the car analogy is extreme and a bit off i agree. a closer comparison would be me scanning in my library of books and distributing the pdf's. illegal and unethical? very much so. you don't buy the music, software, or movies when you shell out that money for a shiney disc. you are buying the right to listen, watch or use it. Thats why the mp3's on my computer that are ripped from my CD collection are legal. I can make a hundred copies for myself if I felt compelled to do so. You begin distributing to friends or the anonymous masses and you are breaking the law.
I don't like the corporate giants trying to destroy digital music. They won't succeed no matter how hard they try.
Technology has opened up an ooportunity for clever entrepreneurs to give the giants some competition and I hope they do so. I know I have some ideas myself.
