I'm saying that a recording of a band performing a song IS more than information, there's the added value of someone performing that deserves compensation.


What does deserving compensation have to do with whether it's information or not? People who provide information often ask for compensation.

You're arguing for the existence of a soul.


Nothing and I never claimed that it does? I disagree with the whole "information wants to be free" rhetoric in regards to music in this specific context.

Yes an MP3 is literally and pedantically information, however it also has an additional worth to me that I find rewarding to pay for. I believe people who enjoy music but use this argument to acquire it for free are deluding themselves.
