What should be the issur? The producers dont own the cd once you buy it. And as for infringing on someones parnassa maybe they should find a parnassa thats not contingent on people not doing what they're allowed to do.

I once heard a Shiur from R' Leibel Williger in which he went through 8 (EIGHT!) potential Issurim that are possible (granted that some of them are only Assur according to a Daas Yochid).

Basically, there is lots of Lomdus involved, and (at least IMO) we should leave the reasoning to the Poskim.

I guess the whole concept of intellectual property is lost on you. Is it the mention of intellect that gets you?  :P

In all seriousness, I will dignify your question with a response. Have you ever had a photo shoot? Got something designed, written or drawn? Do you know anyone who does those things for a living? Tell them you are copying their work, and you'll likely get a more impassioned, erudite  response.

The same way a photographer owns the photos he takes, even if they are of you(!), the singer/artist owns the material they produced. Radio stations are charged a royalty fee to play the song and consumers are permitted limitless enjoyment through purchase of the CD. But the artist still owns the "intellectual property" of the material, even if the physical CD is yours.

As to whether intellectual property exists in halacha, that is the primary question (although, as YitzyS mentions, there are other issues at play, too). The vast majority consider this to be included in dina d'malchusa dina, in which international copyright laws prohibit the unauthorized copying of intellectual property. Additionally, whether or not Halacha explicitly states it is theft or not, there are many things which simply do not pass the smell test, and are so blatantly wrong there isn't even a shailah to be asked. (You want to get into the sugya? Knock yourself out. But in terms of practical application? Justifications are absurd). Which brings us to:

And as for infringing on someones parnassa maybe they should find a parnassa thats not contingent on people not doing what they're allowed to do.
I'll leave it at
Wow.

Just to clarify my argument I wasn't saying there can't be an an issur to infringe on someones parnassa, I was just saying that just because you are affecting someones parnassa doesn't make it automatically assur.
For example (and Im not saying its an exact comparison so dont attack) if someone made a living selling baseball stats and now the all the info is readily available for free online there wont be an issur to look up baseball stats on the internet because you're affecting his parnassa! He should go find another line of work.

Now, there's a well thought out, articulate argument.

I'm gonna attack the comparison, if you took his stats that he worked hard to compile and put it online...that would be the same thing.
Do you not think this is a case of Zeh Nehne ve'zeh choser?

zeh nehne v'zeh chaser is only when the item in question has an owner. The example in the gemara is if you have a house that is for rent and someone stays there thereby causing the owner the loss of rent. As opposed to ze nehne v'ze lo chaser when the house isn't meant  for rent. bava kama 20a-b.
And yes, the new Lipa single is terrible! Btw anyone know who is on the cover with him?

I'm aware, I happen to think that there is an owner, definitely on the time spent if not the intellectual property

Huh? time spent? Noone's forcing anyone to do anything with his time so theft of time is irrelevant. As for intellectual property is that actual property or just a way of referring to copyright laws?

What does stealing sleep (if such a thing exists) have to do with stealing time?? Stealing time is a real thing that takes place if someone locks someone up thereby  causing him to lose wages.

If you want to veer the topic away from intellectual theft, Lipa's single is the wrong way to go. The only reason why Lipa released his single now (instead of releasing it on his soon to be released CD) is because a different artist, seeing a YouTube clip of Lipa singing the song at a Chasuna, went and produced it himself (thinking that it was already public). Lipa put out the single now to try to "reclaim" his song! Talk about intellectual theft! (And now for another 3 pages of posts about if THIS type of intellectual theft is Mutter and ethical...  :( )

Imho either the joke is on the artist that ripped the song or lipa deserved to have it knocked off him because he did such a horrible job at presenting this song. I listened to it once and don't see how anybody sober can enjoy it.

He did rush it to get it out as soon as possible. Maybe that contributed to the quality.
