It doesn’t matter if it’s a CD, a Film, or manual with the instructions to build a spaceship. If you copy it, the original owner doesn’t lose anything. If you don’t copy it, the only one missing something (the experience) is YOU.

Enjoy!

    those people are also listening to your music without paying.

    True, but that doesn’t grant them a copy they can play anytime. This is also why I’ve always been fine with listening before buying.

      I can also buy a CD and if I live with family members / roomates, share it and let them play it whenever they want without them paying for it.
      Or let people copy it.
