If the artist/s/ agreed to let their music be played on the radio for
instance, they also agreed to it being taped. That's why you have to
pay radio/tv taxes and stuff. If I buy a blank cd-r I have to pay
rights because I might record something. So I'm paying. I'm not
stealing, nobody is forcing artist/s/ to bring out music. If you
tape/duplicate/bootleg their music and sell it, then you're stealing.
