Also yes, I did fuck up my first satirical examples. Copyright infringement is not easily equated to theft, no matter what the RIAA or Metallica says. DOWLING v USA, BITCHES.

Well first of all Canada, is practically a Socialist country(almost as bad as France) at least most Canadians don't believe you should never be allowed to be fired. But in the good old USA, Freedom still means something(although we are getting bad too), what do you think you are buying when you buy a movie, album ect? A shiny disk? No you Are buying the I.P. Now I said to the Poster he needs to have "Proof of ownership" so if it is completely gone you are fucked. I then was talking more about a damaged copy because I am perfectly comfortable , with the fact that D/l ing the content is fine then, In the USA we have the right to make "backups" of the original recording, how is this any different, after the fact? prove I didn't make that copy BEFORE the disk was damaged, and who cares about the sequence anyway?

king, your argumentation is about as bad as the abuse of the word freedom in your country. I especially like the part where you claim that freedom still means something in your country (I'll not go into my interpretation of what the word is used for by your governement) especially since this whole copyright "problem" is only really a problem in the USA (and maybe France now).
But you're right:
Answer is NO, it would probably be illegal, but hard to prove. A bit like if you're clever enough, you can kill someone. But it's not legal.

IIRC, the definition of theft is to make a net profit from another's net loss.
In the case of stealing cable, you're getting a service for free, and the provider is giving you a service without being paid for it, so that would be theft.
If you've paid for a licence to use an album, and the CD gets damaged, you're not making a profit by copying the album from another source. The producer isn't losing any money, since you already paid for the music.
Of course, most of the media companies would like to force everyone to pay for a new CD every time the old one gets damaged. That is theft; they're making a profit by selling the same product licence multiple times to someone who's getting no benefit at all after the first time.
