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.

someone else already asked in this thread but is there a way to block posts by intolerable people?

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

That's right, admit that I've won.

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?

According to this the RIAA bribed a jury to value downloading a single song at $80,000.
