Copying and sharing recordings was not a mistake, let alone wrong, because sharing is good. Its good to share musical recordings with friends and family; its good for a radio station to share recordings with the staff, and its good when strangers share through peer-to-peer networks. The wrong is in the repressive laws that try to block or punish sharing. Sharing ought to be legalized; in the mean time, please do not act ashamed of having shared — that would validate those repressive laws that claim that it is wrong.You did make a mistake when you chose Kazaa as the method of sharing.
