Hello everyone:
Does anyone have this Persian A&H4 set that wants to share or to sell a copy?

Dear friend:
It is amazing how judgmental one can be when it comes to other's affairs while we feel entitlement when it comes to our own interest. There have been many occasions that members in this & other forums have shared Sets. I do respect the copy right laws and that is why I offered to buy a copy because there are individuals on this forum that have business selling these sets.

He asked about sharing. Period.
I understand that there are good guys and freeloaders, but the lines continually blur. If it is a commercial SET, the money should go to the person who made it. Buying it off off someone who bought a 'personal use' product is no different to piracy. The guy that made it didn't get the money...
I respect everyone's opinions, but this seems pretty cut and dried to me.
Unless the product is no longer offered for sale, and the original content creator cannot be contacted in any way to give you permission to 'share' it, it is still piracy.
You have to understand that software is utterly different to hardware. If you sell your arranger, you no longer have it to use. Imagine how long Korg would last if you COULD! I see no issue in buying samples off of a guy if he deletes them from HIS HD's (including all backups). All you are doing is transferring ownership of a physical product. But you have no guarantee he has done this. That's why even this is generally forbidden by most EULA's, as it cannot be practically overseen without complex software protection.
We live in a far more morally complex world than we used to. Digital distribution has both opened up amazing possibilities for content creators to bypass the economic bottlenecks that might have prevented them even making content widely available (and thus profitable), but it has also enabled the chillingly easy way to steal it. We are still dealing with the ramifications of it, but must remain vigilant that we don't ourselves cross that line unknowingly or uncaringly.
The word 'share' has become code for 'steal' all too often nowadays, to the point that we aren't even sure when we are using it. I am sure that Aresh is one of the 'good guys'. And is hopefully aware now why his OP could have been worded so much better...
