"I don't quite understand John. Are you saying it's ok to steal the music because it isn't a "hard copy"?- Bill

Of course not Bill. I was just clarifying that I didn't mean "making copies of a book" as you misinterpreted this: "BTW, if I purchase a hard copy book, I can legally pass that on to a friend(s) to enjoy for free. Maybe another poor analogy?"

Both a hard copy or a soft copy is equally wrong to steal.
