What is a pirate? These days most of us are pirates, whether we would like to be or not. Copyrights force us to be criminals in the eyes of the law, just for doing that which comes naturally, sharing. The United States was a country formed by a bunch of rich traders who did not want to pay taxes. It is in our history and tradition to do things outside of the legal system, which we have been forced to do with much of our music these days. I am not ashamed of this, and neither should you. Support artists who let you share (they are out there)
The First Music Pirate -
“Misereri by Allegri, an early seventeenth-century composer… was so highly esteemed that to copy it was a crime visited with excommunication. Young Mozart nevertheless determined that he would secure a copy, and… after two hearings he had the whole thing so perfectly on paper that next year Dr. Burney, the musical historian, was able to publish it in London.”
