Sorry, dude - this isn't even grey area. Unless you're paying royalites to act as a broadcaster, you're well outside "hobbyist" or "personal use" here.

they are shared over the network anyway. if i took the server off, all the same music would still be available most of the day. i should have explained more clearly what iTunes is/does and how music is "shared" in the dorm. most people here are gung-ho about not pirating stuff.
edit: i mean i agree with you, this probably isnt legal, but i dont think its wrong given the situation. im not cheating the artists out of money, and thats all i care about really. as long as they arent being screwed, then i dont feel like im doing any harm.

You're getting awful close to crossing the boundary into a Stupid Pirate. :frown:
It is illegal. It is "wrong." And you are cheating them out of money, because if other people wanted the music they stream from you, they'd buy it to add to their iTunes collection.
Not that I give a flying four-letter word for fornication about it. Just noting.

sorry, not trying to be a stupid pirate...i want to remain a smart pirate by all means.
ok, i will concede that it is illegal, but i dont submit that it is completely 100% wrong. if the people in the dorm wanted to here it and i wasnt sharing it, they would just browse another computer and find the same song since it is definitely out there somewhere. the artists were paid for the CD, and the CD was put on iTunes which is perfectly legal. the ONLY thing illegal here is having songs on my computer that are not MINE, and i understand that. however, the only songs on this computer and that will ever be on this computer were paid for and, while they still may be pirated once, it isnt being distributed and never will be.
i stand by my position that im not ripping off the artist since im not allowing illegally downloaded music on the server, and while i do agree that this is illegal, as i said before, at least im only accepting legal music on my illegal server. im not sure that makes much sense.
please, dont revoke smart pirate status :gift:

Who cares if It's illegal, If he gets caught, he gets caught, If not... more power to him.
I would like to do a detailed search of the hardrives of all the "holier-than-thou" pricks that are giving him a hard time. I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the people on AT have some form of pirated data in their possesion.
Judge not lest ye be judged, bitches....
*edit*
If you have never been in possesion of said pirated data, then I tip my hat to you... You've got a stronger will than me...

I don't really give a sh!t about it being illegal, I just don't like these half-assed rationalizations over it. He sounds like a chick who's screwing all her boyfriend's buddies and still needs to be right.
Bad analogy, but you get the point.

No way, that's a NICE analogy.

no its not. im not whining and complaining about it. i honestly thought about it and tried to come up with a way to do this and NOT screw over the artist. all kidding aside, i really think i did the best i could to not make this illegal, even though it still is, and not screw any artists out of money. throw around all the lame insults you want, but i dont see the point since im not trying to be a badass and steal lots of music for the fun of it.
