Maybe not an asshole, but moron fits:

>>So what if music just becomes free and artists make their living off of touring and merchandise?

Well therein lies the most stupid mistake anybody can make. The most important part is the music. Without that, why would you care? Even the idea that you're considering giving the music away for free makes it easier to give it away for free. The only reason why gold is expensive is because we all agree that it is. There's no real use for it, except we all agree and abide by the idea that gold costs a certain amount per ounce. As soon as you give people the choice to deviate from it, you have chaos and anarchy. And that's what going on.

What Gene Simmons says is right on the money!!
He made all very good and accurate points about the record industry!!

I guess it depends on your definition of theft. If I ask to borrow a friend's CD to listen to it am I stealing it?

If you make a copy of that CD it is stealing it!
If you just listren to it then NO!!

By the way that was a childish analogy!

If you were Gene Simmons you'd realize every second of the song was money in the bank and you in some stank.

Isn't the RIAA claiming copying music you've bought to be theft too now? I swear I remember a thread on ATOT discussing this.

I remember it too. Something about people working (in a bodyshop?) playing a legally bought cd on a boombox being illegal because other people who didn't pay (over a certain number of people maybe?) could hear it. I think it happened across the pond.

what does this have to do with copying a CD?

You can play a CD, movie, etc legally as long as you are not profitting from it's broadcast. If you are then you need to pay royalities.
