do you think its fair for songs to be censroed?

I think that the idea of business decisions inadvertently leading to censorship is interesting. The broadcasters decide to play things that cannot possibly be deemed acceptable.  What does the FCC say about censoring, what are their guidelines for acceptable broadcasting?  Why is the FCC legal if it censors?  Is a broadcaster wrong by choosing to play morally irresponsible music in order to make money?

Of course not! \n\nConcerts are always protected by copyright, and they can´t be retransmitted like a TV concert without a copyright permission.\n\nForget it my friend

In my opinion, cussing only plays a part in who will listen to these songs.  Like myself for example.  I dislike swearing in songs.  It's not necessary.  So I don't listen to songs with swearing.  Other people may not care so they listen to it.  Hope I helped you!

No you are violating the copyright if you download the song from the web even if you already own the song in another format.\n\nHowever, it is generally accepted that copyright "fair use" allows one to make one backup copy of a work already owned.  So if you make a backup copy of the cassette to your computer you are probably OK.

In general, yes, it bans freedom of speech.  If, however, a company (say a privately owned nightclub) refuses to play a song within its doors because it does not like the messages in the song, the club's owners are within *their* rights to do so.  Does that ban creativity?  Not really, since the club owners aren't telling the artist that he/she can never play it or record it anywhere.  They aren't silencing the artist, they're merely not supporting them.  Now if the government showed up at the doors of the artist and forbid them from having anything ever to do with the song, that would be spitting on freedom of speech.  There's the difference.

legal approval for the original airing of tv shows does not always translate to dvd releases...after all...the writers and artists of those songs want all the revenue they can get from their material...

NO, NOT AT ALL!  I think it's cool that you can find songs that tell your "life story" or that you can identify with!  That's good you can put your feelings into words.  All of us can't do that!  It makes it fun to be able to express yourself like that!!!

I don't consider not singing to be wholly disrespectful. Some might choose to focus on the game and I have no problem with that. There are other ways to show your commitment to the cause.

songs don't have to have meaning. they're just artistic expression. live it, breath it, love it.

It is not illegal. Sharing music, is not and should not be illegal.

You can do that, but try not to play them too close together. Sometimes bands' songs all sound the same i.e. Everclear. It worked for them, but its not too talented to do something like that.

Can you be sued...YES.  Will you be sued, probably not.  Especially as you are "listening and deleting".  The music industry is mainly after those who are file sharing songs without paying the cost of the production for the album/CD they were on originally.

I agree. If you just want the one song, it is easier to dowload it-- whether you pay for it or not-- than to buy a CD single. And it costs nothing for the record company to post it, so it's all profit for them this way. Otherwise, there is manufacturing, printing, packaging, shipping, etc.
