Well, I don't have an eidetic memory, at least not for certain performances. But my devices do. That's my point.Sorry for correcting your usage, that particular phrase is a sore point for me.
When does the artist get paid if I make a bit perfect copy and sell it.
Never.
That should be obvious.

How I implement my memory is my business. Or should be. :-)
The artist probably got ripped off by the record company. Whether the copy is bit perfect or not, whatever that means, is irrelevant. Most of the people who pirate music don't even know what bit perfect means.
It's only a tiny minority of artists who make big bucks off of recordings. The effect of the present system is to produce mass culture. I detest mass culture and would be delighted to see it disappear by a change in law. Artists should get paid other ways, e.g. by live performances or through patrons. Most of these "artists" should get a day job.

So it is OK to say that everybody rips off artists so it is fine for Tony and Eric to rip off artists?
I really think I'm not going to be on that particular train.
Bit perfect or not, making a copy of a music library and selling it (while retaining the original at least) is illegal. Are you now saying that's not true, or that you just don't care because our society is rotten to the core?

I said it was wrong and that it's not something that I do. If you knew what I do, you would know that I help artists and do it out of love of music and don't take a penny for my time, equipment or materials.
But the law is obsolete. Copyright came into existence after the invention of the printing press. It's long past time to replace it with a different system that compensates artists and cuts out all the middlemen who prey on them.
