Sh'lom!
Quick question: If I legally pay for music (through iTunes or by purchasing a CD), is it forbidden to make a copy of that music and give it to a friend or family member? Would that be considered stealing from the artist since it is copying and distributing the music for free (even if it is just one copy)? I've done this a couple times, but have immediately felt guilty and unsure about it afterward. I'm pretty sure that I'm in the wrong here, and repentance is in order, correct?
