I have to say that many people don't apreciate good, music anymore (cof, cof like reggaeton...) but, many music deserve the quality of a CD. There are a lot of great Creative Commons music out there... enjoy! Well, athough i don’t support piracy, the copyright laws need a SIGNIFICANT reform.

The record labels are the ones who have trouble with pirated CDs. But, record companies as we know them are on the way out anyway... their business model is antiquated and does not benefit the art or the artists. <strong>Manolo,</strong> come on! you the law-abading citizen know better. You should read the entry <a href="http://mariposaenlapared.blogspot.com/2008/01/breakin-law.html" rel="nofollow">Breakin' the Law</a> at Janna's blog. <strong>Ann,</strong> me two. I am glad this sign made you laugh. Janna, actually most artists do benefit from piracy since they need for people to know their work and to attend their concerts.

On the other hand, sometimes I feel that younger ( :-) ) people don't value buying CDs anymore, much less "legal" CDs. And then I have been wondering about the "mixed CD", the heir of the "mixed tape", when you give a "mixed CD" as a gift, are you infringing copyright?

I didn't know anything about the music; all I knew was that I had heard reggaeton for the first time in my life on the streets and buses in Guate, and I loved it, and wanted to bring some home. The kid recommended a CD of the latest hits, and nearly 2 years later I still listen to it. Next time I'm there, I plan to buy more from him, if he's still there, and thank him for the music. As an aside, in spite of the unethical nature of pirating, that one pirated CD has introduced me to musicians from which I've gone on to buy several legitimate albums. So, in that sense, the musicians have benefited from that pirated CD. When I was in Antigua, I bought a pirated CD from a teenage boy in the artisans’ market for something like 20Q.
