good question sue.    sort of and not really. there are plenty of sites that don't let you access the whole song, this is because of copyright and distribution rights.
to me, if i could afford the albums i might buy them. as i cannot, it is surely better to do it this way, than miss out. do you not think?   i would like an artists answer to this, though it won't stop me, as most of the artists we like, i cannot find more than one or two songs, from the smaller bands anyway.

melissa, like i said i haven't tried to save the videos from youtube, but i would have thought that whatever you see in the video box, would be what was saved to your PC.

alot of the albums i have recorded, we had on tape anyway, so for me it isn't like stealing, just upgrading.
is it anymore stealing than recording an album for a friend? or like we used to record songs from the radio, in the old days? although technically illeagal, tape recorders were made. it is any more moral, to post videos of bands on youtube without their knowledge?

ok, now my brain hurts, have to take the dogs for a walk, so that might help......maybe.

have a wonderful V day everyone
