The perpetuation of disinformation:

Greg Blonder says that "ripping a copy of a friend's music CD, or grabbing a track from a Napster-like service on the Internet, is stealing, plain and simple." Feel free to reply directly to him re what's wrong with this statement. (He obviously is not a copyright scholar and also fails to read TLA). However, he does understand the economics of the music industry and offers a feasible payment plan to compensate the "artists and their agents and lawyers."
