Jewish Music (New CDs, hock, and opinions)

[asd]

every time I see something about Lipa I am more convinced that he went off the deep end. 20 pairs of glass and M& Ms on his yarmulka?

I think he is just making up for lost time, all the years he felt like he was in prison where they stepped on all his creativity that he obviously has. He is going to keep seeing how much he could get away with.

his first album was released when he was 21. Not quite squelched talent.

[YitzyS]

The following albums are scheduled to be in stores next week (from what I've heard): Boruch Shalom Blesofsky, 8th Day Inner Flame, and possibly Ohad 4.

What a society we live in, this is איסור דאורייתא and kosher switch is L'katchila.

 Going to hell many times over anyway for "stealing" music why should I stop now? (Honestly I didn't copy music for the past 2 years anyway)

Was there any rav that ever came out with a "pesak" that it's "ausur"??

Was there any rav that ever came out with a "pesak" that it's "ausur"??

I don't remember ever actually seeing one, I'm sure it exists and even if halachicly it's okay I still don't feel comfortable doing it.

[clear thinker]

I still don't feel comfortable doing it.

That yes, but imho no such issur exist because it isn't assur!
But I'm ready to be corrected.

Because what...? It's not a tangible object?

[clear thinker]

Maybe....
But that's (might) be only a reason why it's not ausur, the biggest reason I don't think it's ausur is because if it would be those singers would have put out such an issur long ago.

A simple Google search will show you plenty.

i spoke to many dayanim. They all said you shouldn't do it. But NONE found an issur that they say this falls under

The last one is for something else, but the principle would still apply. I'll stop there because I'm on my phone but I could go on and on.

I simply hate the justifications. I have copied plenty of music myself. But I'm not going to try justify it. It's wrong. I did something wrong.

[Mordyk]

I have a hard drive with almost all jewish music that you can think of. I have been collecting it since the first ipod came out about 13 years ago yet i dont fill up peoples ipod.   But that still doesnt make it assur. And i would rather ask my LOR than making a google search

[aygart]

There was an album by MBD around twenty years ago which came with a letter with signatures.

[PTU]

Did he really compare himself to Christina Aguilera??

The other guy is pavorati...
