Copying is Theft - And Other Legal Myths

This article takes a long time to make a small point, but it is a point well worth making. File sharing is not theft. Who says so? The U.S. Supreme Court. "So the RIAA and MPAA's claims that all 'copying' is 'stealing' are much overhyped." Most of this article deals with infringing and non infringing uses of content, and while it does not in any sense endorse the free-wheeling sharing of content, neither does it come close to the record industry's view that any sort of copying is a crime. Good article.
