Re: choosing your battles & to burn or not to burn?

U2
REM
Coldplay
Over the Rhine (of course!)

That is all.

I have a related question: Do you think burning copyrighted CDs is ethical? 
I had a debate with my bro. about this. He's younger than me and he 
apparently spends *no* money at all on music. His reasoning is that the big 
record companies get all the money anyway and the musicians are millionaires 
who don't need any more money. He *would* pay for an indie band's recordings 
though. I couldn't convince him of the fact that musicians need to be 
compensated for their work just like any other professional. Maybe it's 
because when I was his age there was no such thing as CD burning (or it 
wasn't very common yet) and if you really liked a certain album, you bought 
the real thing. I still think there's something special about having the 
original artwork and lyrics and pretty picture on the CD itself! I can 
understand sharing concert bootlegs or rare recordings with friends. But 
otherwise. . .hmmmm.
