That's the difference. And, as you have pointed out so much over the course of this thread, it is not possible to charge someone with larceny of an MP3.

ok there's the confusion, this is how i see it
case 1: someone who has not purchased the rights to make digital copies
case 2: someone who has not purchased the rights to make digital copies
i see it like that cause when you purchase a cd, you're purchasing one copy of the music, and have the right to make one backup. when you purchase the rights to make digital copies all willy nilly you typically receive the masters that the work was recorded on, not a cd, which contains drm and many other measures to prevent copies being made, so by copying a song onto itunes you're completely disregarding the artists intent and their right to control their content.
this is the contradiction in your logic that i see.
