From Ars Technica, this just in. Richard Gabriel, lead counsel for the record labels in the case Capitol Records, et al v. Jammie Thomas, asked Jennifer Pariser, the head of litigation for Sony BMG, if it was wrong for consumers to make copies of music they had purchased:
Pariser replied, "When an individual makes a copy of a song for himself, I suppose we can say he stole a song." Making "a copy" of a purchased song is just "a nice way of saying 'steals just one copy'," she said.
I almost can't get up from my seat I'm so weighed down by my guilty conscience. How many times I have committed a crime since I started buying music?
