Since that is the case, you are violating artist intent by pirating.

You've defeated yourself with your own system.
i've already covered this. legally i'm not stealing because i'm downloading music in canada. which is legal, and not theft.

morally i've also covered this, when an artist releases a song on the radio they accept people will make copies as they're listening and that some of them will be satisfied with the copies. pretty much any stereo can record live radio to cassette, and most radio listening software can record it to your hard drive or phone or whatever.

when an artist releases their music on cd, they too have to accept that some people will make recordings and be satisfied with the recordings.

within my model i've also covered this, no one owns the art, and the artist's intent is to be commissioned to create their art and be supported by those who enjoy their art, either an entity or democratically via donations, merchandise, live concerts, live appearances, etc. largely the same way artist's make their money now, just minus profiting directly off digital copies.

The contractor also has zero rights to the house. That's a terrible analogy.

There has not been a model wherein art was so accessible, so easily distributed, or so easy to rebrand.

what it says is it is legal to copy a song from a hard drive to the rio's flash drive storage because hard drive's usually contain a number of data and software not pertaining to the song, and so the rio itself should not be illegal, as you're copying a song already on the hard drive.

this means that you can legally download a song off itunes, and copy it onto your ipod or music device. but you cannot copy a song from a cd to your hard drive, or your ipod, rio, or whatever.

it also stipulates that it's illegal to record a live stream off the internet onto the rio as the live stream is also considered a copy of the artwork.

you should really read and understand sources before you post.
You should really read and understand what I say before you post, as I stated in my post that the AHRA does not explicitly make ripping a CD legal. But it does show an intent to protect copies of purchased art for personal use.

YOU STILL HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PRODUCE A LAW THAT CRIMINALIZES RIPPING A CD.

Regardless, you have, over the course of this, admitted that there are unethical uses of art beyond the law, and thus you admit that thievery is not an invention of the law.

Explain to me how it is ethical to violate an artist's intent.

Their intent is that you pay for it. They do not intend for you to acquire copies of it.

An artist's intent does not have to include people copying their work.

Artists don't intend for you to make copies through radio use either, they intend for you to simply listen to it once.

If artists intended to give you their work for free, they would. They do not.

I don't care about changing his mind.

As you have demonstrated, defeating yoav affects other people's position on the issue.

You entered on his side, and left agreeing with me.

That is my purpose.

You already had to say you were wrong once. That count can only go up.

Question for yoav, if he isn't a pussy who blocks me: in your system, if someone declared that their intent was to give a copy of art only if it was paid for, and they do not intend for anyone to receive a copy of their art for free, are you unethical to violate that intention?
