My specific case was live albums of a band named Waso, which were never printed in CD. The only digital copies were fans that owned original vinil records from the '70s and digitalised them.
What do you do in this case? I remember downloading a copy of them and not feeling any kind of remorse about it.
Not sure it helps but I was myself a musician and my brother plays too as is his only source of income. I know a bit of the industry.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoWell let's put it this way, does the artist as the the creator of said art permit you to do such a thing? If the artist is okay with it great! But if the artist is not okay with at all does he own the rights to the art he created? Does he have the right to permit you not to copy his things? That is the ethical question. Did you have the right to do it without asking the artist for permission? What if one day the artist did actually want to make a profit off his work?
- pachico 7y agoThis is not an ethical question, again, this is, at most, a legal question.
