Relativism


“Relativism is sometimes (though not always) interpreted as saying that all points of view are equally valid, in contrast to an absolutism which argues there is but one true and correct view( Relativism).” A common phrase that can be used to explain any scenario is; What’s right for you may not be right for me. For instance, when i go to the gym to work out i use an iPod where most of my music is from Limewire. Is that legal? “Limewire is a peer-to-peer program that allows users to share music over the Internet. Although the program hosts files that are legal to download, it also hosts music that is protected by copyright law. Copyrighted music not purchased from the Limewire Store is illegal to download. When you install the program, Limewire requires you to agree not to download copyrighted music” (Is It Legal to Download Music from Limewire?).”
I along with millions of others do not pay for my music; my best friend who goes on iTunes to purchase all her songs doesn’t understand my reasoning. But yet, if she shares her downloads, isn’t she still taking part in illegal downloading because of p2p. My attitude is we paid so much money for the iPod now we have to pay .99 cents for each song. Apple gets you for everything.
