lol and all those other acronyms
TechDirt reports: "Movie studios and record labels have tried a number of different approaches to fighting piracy: lawsuits, law changes, hacking, even setting up their own private police force. Now the Christian music industry is getting in on the act by trying to cast downloading and file-sharing as a moral issue. Of course, just because they make religious music doesn't mean they're too different from the secular groups, as the president of a gospel music trade group says of downloading, 'It's like stealing. You wouldn't walk into a Christian bookstore and steal a Bible off the shelf,' when, of course, copyright infringment isn't theft at all. Apparently a lot of young Christian music fans see downloading as 'helping spread the word,' which, either in a promotional or religious sense, they're doing, since Christian music sales are growing strongly.
