guess you can argue that it is technically theft, but I don't really have an issue with this for some reason.

Should 1 person be able to buy 1 copy of a record album, then distribute to the rest of the world? for free? for profit?

Do you not see the problem, here?

I'm no lawyer but it seems like copyright infringement to me.

But it is free to begin with.

This is nothing like music piracy.

Good point, but I think your missing part of the point. Yes, you are allowed to play that music you buy for anyone who wants to listen! Like a niteclub, you arent charging the customer to hear the music, you are charging them for building maintenance (cover charge).

I didn't realize people who receive over the air signals from local TV stations have to buy those signals.

Change your example to "Should 1 person who is given a record album for free......."
