If I make someone a comp CD and it has a Stickmen song on it, and I do this with the intent that it will create a Stickmen consumer out of someone who has no other practical means of encountering the Stickmen, and I take no money for this (and in fact have paid both for the Stickmen LP in the first place long before it was ever reissued and for the CDR), how have I wronged you? skip h on 11/30/02 2:07 PM, CuneiWay@aol.com at CuneiWay@aol.com wrote:
Please tell me why, if someone copies and keeps one of our releases, thereby depriving me of the sale of that release and our artist for the payment of the sale of that release, why this *isn't* theft?
Thank you,

Still, technically it is not. The artist's royalty probably is underpaid, but there is no stealing.
