The CD even says you can't reproduce and distribute. If Matty gives another person a copy the ARTIST'S chance for royalties for HIS MUSIC is stolen from him. Is Matty goning to be responsible for collecting the $15 and mailing it to the Artist? No

What if you INVENT something and hope to support your family and someone steals it and reproduces it with compensating you. Is that stealing? Is that Wrong?

This is a good thread because clearly many people don't understand this from an Artist's point of view.
