But there is one ethical dilemma with downloading music for free. If it's out of print, not one single legally distributed physical copy exists, and it can't be legally purchased in a digital format anywhere, is it still stealing if you download it for free? No one is losing the music, and no one is losing any money since there isn't anything being sold.

Can you name said music?

I'd venture to say if it's not in the public domain or the content rights holder didn't make it available themselves for free on the market it is still stealing. I don't think that "being for sale" is a prerequisite for ownership on the part of the content creator.

And if the product is still held by a rights holder you may be depriving them of potential income even if the product isn't currently being sold.

Usually you can find out of print music on the gray market. In that case, the rights holder has been paid for the initial sale of physical media.

I dunno. I hear that Howard Hughes fellow is re shooting that picture show from the Great War to make it a talkie. But he's always been a bit crazy

It's a hypothetical.

Never heard of a music gray market.

With all the questions about downloading, how about in the 90's when people would burn CDs and make mix tapes or CDs for their friends? Is that stealing?

Jerry is getting after one of the commenters on that article.

[rhezick]

Just about to mention that...love seeing how involved he is on here/elsewhere. Seems pretty straightforward.

[alabama24]

I hope Liberty is actively pursuing another company... if they aren't going to manage a theatre themselves.

JLFJR wasn't the only FlameFan poster commenting. Hopefully somebody else will see an opportunity in the space.

I didn't realize that Cinemark had moved its HQ up to Plano. I remember when they were a small family business in Central Texas. They clearly have a great formula for that industry.

[alabama24]

Great formula = killing our theatre. Lol

[Purple Haize]

When things like this happen there are usually reasons on both sides. It's interested no that's there is a lot of tenant turn over there. Movies 10 was a good bedrock. They had the best popcorn!

Lots of companies are coming to the DFW area, Sly

It was so good some folks evidently eat it right out of the garbage.

Only the bucket came out of the garbage. The popcorn was fresh from the stand!

ATrain, I have it on good authority that our own Sly Fox is no Yankee, but was actually born in the heart of Dixie, in the "scenic center of the South," Chattanooga, TN.
