curtins Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 ok heres the thing-I start school on wednesday. I NEED to listen to this cd on the bus on wednesday- because its like a tradition for me- dont ask. ok well I have the cd- only its ileagal- I downloaded the songs a year ago b4 i knew it was imoral to do so. So I have this illeagaly burned/downloaed cd. Like I've said before- im not gonna listen to my burned cds anymore- and im gonna buy all of them. Well today Im going to buy the cd online. I dont think it will get here though in 2 days. But im still gonna buy it. I was wondering- could I listen to my downloaded version of the same cd until the copy that I bought arives???? Cuz I already am gonna buy it- so I have spent the money- its mine, just a matter of space and time. and The ileagal one could be like my back up copy- that you are allowed to have. Cause i really need to have this cd for my first day at school- and im already paying for it. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iacobus Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 You have to ask yourself... what is more important to me, listening to this CD or avoiding sin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelFilo Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 You legally own a copy of that CD. You are allowed to make copies for personal use. Getting so worked up about music, and possibly a silly "tradition" is a sin. I'd say that you avoid it for the very reason you want to use and have it.

curtins Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 hey man dont be making fun of my traditions and i dont see how it could be sinful infact im trying to avoid sinning by asking this so i know if its ok to do or not i need a simple yes- if i order the cd i can listen to the burned copy i already have or no- even if i order the cd i still cant listen to my burned copy (which doesnt make much sence) please i need one or the other ppl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelFilo Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Yes, you can listen to the CD. Please explain the tradition, however. While it is morally right to listen to the CD you downloaded, it imay not be for this reason, so please explain. God bless, Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtins Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 wait- you said its morrally right for me to listen to the cd i download- ONLY BECAUSE IM BUYING IT- RIGHT????? oh my tradition- last year on the first day of school i listened to the same cd cuz that was when i was gettin into punk rock for like the 1st time its not really a tradition- just more like remembering the past good memories-music helps you do that you know? i dont see how that could be sinful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelFilo Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 It is morally correct, because you aren't in the process of buying it, but have given the money ( I am they have yet to receive it, but you intend for the money to get there, and have done all you can to do so ). You morally own the CD... however legally speaking, no you can't. I don't put much value in civil law however. So it is yours, and you can listen to it. That specific tradition isn't sinful, I thought it would be more serious. Now weather punk rock is any good, thats a matter of question.
