Re: [microsound] boris + sunn o))) collaboration



Yeah, but isn't the primary reason that "stealing" is so bad, due to
the fact that if you take someone else's food/car/cash, then they no
longer have it. But in this case: If you make a digital copy, it does
not deprive the original owner of their possession. So your metaphor
just doesn't work. You need a different approach to discuss the ethics
of the situation.
