...Taping a show or movie on a blank VHS to give to a friend is not stealing... Maybe you're doing the opposite of stealing. You're also copying the commercials so they will be watched by additional eyeballs. Is Napster Stealing? I was taught that if I came into posession of things that I didn't purchase at a fair price honestly negotiated with the rightful owner, I had not acquired them legitimately; therefore, they didn't belong to me. The test was simple: Did I pay for it? Was the price fair? Did the seller have the right to sell it? Do music files from Napster pass these tests? Bye4Now, Fred.
