Short lesson in legal issues:
you have a car and you're driving. you don't have a license!
somebody comes from your back and hits you really hard while you're in front of a red light, everything legal with the car. Who pays? YOU! Why? Cause you didn't have a license. No doubt about that!
Reason <> Laws. Laws are not always reasoning or make much sense, further more most people know little about laws and their reasoning behind them.
something is illegal. nothing patronising, or absolute. P2P is here to stay, but don't ask a public forum who is doing SUCH A GREAT SERVICE to all of you to support something illegal, even the slightest... There are many things that are gray area and need discussing (like youtube for example), but still posting a direct link to a copyrighted material is illegal all the way, no matter how fair we find it, how nice nad educating it is, and so on.
Also, btw, if you want to make a piece known to the general audience, post 3 minute clip (for example, for a large work). This should suffice for anyone to get a very good idea of the work. Why post the WHOLE thing? And this CAN happen under copyright laws, regarding education... As well as making photocopies of 5% or 5 pages (which ever smaller) from published books.
But me posting a link, to Karajans' recocding from Detuche Gramophone Beethoven the 9th ALL is illegal, seems illegal, sounds illegal and the tolerance that YC forum is giving is illegal as well.
Sadly! Cause I do find that music sharing is really difficult, stupid, and moronic to be treated this way...
BTW, for example: MUSE (not classical but ok), have ALL their songs ontheir site. no need to be illegal, go to their site and listen to them. same goes for manyu other groups. Classical recordings can be found in youtube, most of hte time legally...
