"'Copying' Music You Own Is 'Stealing'":


ArsTechnica: "Song BMG's Chief Anti-Piracy Lawyer: "Copying" Music You Own Is "Stealing":

"Testimony today in Capitol Records, et al v. Jammie Thomas quickly and inadvertently turned to the topic of fair use when Jennifer Pariser, the head of litigation for Sony BMG, was called to the stand to testify. Pariser said that file-sharing is extremely damaging to the music industry and that record labels are particularly affected. In doing so, she advocated a view of copyright that would turn many honest people into thieves."
