- I really like .MODs. Many of the original tunes I get are commercial
- quality, and some of them I get are streight up COMMERCIAL. Is this illegal?
- I would like to get some 'POPULAR' songs from a local board, and would then
- be happy to send them to some ftp sites, but I won't if it is as illegal as
- pirating softwares.... Songs like Knockin' on Heaven's Door, etc....
- I can't think of any music I have gotten from ftp sites that was copywritten
- except for a couple of Jean Michel Jarre tunes. Could someone who knows what
- they are talking about tell me more about the legalities? Thanks.
