LOL- Note the top of the page IDIOT- It grants permission to share.
Possibly. If the person would otherwise have actually purchased the art if it were not available for free from some other source. That may or may not be the case.
If I have a CD and I make a copy for you, that is legal under copyright law. Is that stealing?

Read the back of your CD case-
Allow me to quote the Legal Notice:
It doesn't really start out too good for you. You claimed it was not copyrighted. Whoops. Continuing:
Yes, it grants limited permission to reproduce material on the sit, but that permission is conditioned on the provision that "that the copyright notice and permission notice contained in such document or portion thereof is included in such reproduction, retransmission, or reprinting." You didn't include the copyright notice and permission notice. In fact, you didn't attribute the material to any source whatsoever. Continuing:
Assuming the document or webpage you stole from had no copyright notice or permission notice, you did not include the above notice in your reproduction of the copyrighted material. Continuing:
Because you didn't comply with the previously listed requirements, your reproduction is expressly prohibited, unless you obtained prior written consent.
So . . . post your prior written consent or you are a THIEF according to your own standards.

I stole nothing. I can't help it it you are too stupid to understand copyright law or read the back of a CD case... Perhaps you can get someone in your circle of friends who can help you with this?

You posted copyrighted material without complying with the terms of the owner of that material to its reproduction and without any attribution whatsoever. That's infringement and, according to your standards, makes you a thief.
Moreover, I am fully aware of my rights as a purchaser of music. I don't need the record company to tell me what my rights are, nor would I trust them to do so. If you learned all that you know about your rights as a purchaser of music from the record companies, it may behoove you to actually google "first sale doctrine." You might learn something.

The material I posted is public information- It does not fall under the doctrine of copyrighted material as it is publicly owned knowledge (U.S. Copyright Office
Library of Congress) cited by MENC, not created by them. Do get a clue. Your desire to take what is not rightfully yours is well established- the law calling it theft is too.
So the part specifically applying copyright concepts to music teachers that you reproduced is publicly owned knowledge and not the property of the National Association for Music Education? Sure it is, ID. Sure it is.

I know you want to make it about me- but you are the one who wants to steal- your guilty conscience has caused you to point stupid fingers I guess. Note the bottom of the linked page.

That'd be all well and good if you reproduced the booklet, but you didn't. You reproduced the webpage. The webpage is copyrighted.

not being able to answer a very simple question shows you've been burnt and you know it.
if you pick up $40 dollars left on the sidewalk, are you a thief?

if you pick up $40 dollars off the sidewalk, did you steal it from whoever dropped it?

if you pick up $40 dollars off the sidewalk that I dropped there, did you steal from me?

The sad thing here, is even when I agree with you you're still wrong. Copyright violation is still stealing, but SOPA should be tossed out a window it's a flagrant 4th amendment violation.

you are the one in the wrong. if I find an mp3 file on the internet somewhere, how am I to know it's copyrighted? should it not be on the person who actually uploaded the file committing a crime? they are the one making a copyrighted file available to everyone.

You're downloading a song, pretty much all of them are copyrighted, use your brain, downloading movies, all of which are copyrighted, even if you didn't upload it, is still a crime. you're doing the "I didn't know" defense, it doesn't work for people who didn't know that smoking pot is illegal, it doesn't work for copyright violation.
As well as being morally wrong. It's saying to the creators, "Fuck you guys, You created something worth having, and now, well thanks guys, I think I'll just take that."
