I agree it would be so that the record companies would get their cut...All im saying is if it is so wrong to record anything especially off of the tv then why aren't all of the "free television networks" charging people...you would think that would make sense...but if that happened wouldnt people be more inclined to pay for a service that offers 200 + channels?

Its all ridiculous in my opinion....like you said when vcr's came out people were complaining...what about blank audio tapes or discs.. the same thing happened. I couldn't tell you how often i took a blank tape and recorded songs off of my favorite rock station on the radio...The only thing that makes it wrong is the fact that since the internet went up everything became more accessable...therefore the loss of money to big corporations.
