If you burn a CD for someone else,
have you stolen music?

Chris Quinn,
sophomore, youth ministry:

"Yes, I think you have. You've taken potential money away from the artist, and it's not up to us to decide how much the musicians make."

Elisabeth Bertram,
senior, educational ministries:

"If I paid for the music, I think I have license to do what I want with it."

Jeffrey Allen,
junior, history:

"It's a complex issue that has to do with the artist's and producer's intent; our decision must be based on their wishes."

Joel Peters,
M. Div.:

"I have not thought about it enough. I don't really know if it's right or wrong, so I just don't do it."

Sarah Davis,
sophomore, speech communication:

"It's stealing. You're not paying for the copy. We do it all the time, but the artists lose money."

Jeff Haynes,
grad:

"It depends. There's a difference between making a mixed CD and copying an entire album. Burning a whole album is wrong."
