I often wonder if it’s wrong to listen to certain free instrumental music on YouTube or other websites since it helps me focus. The company that made the music doesn’t want it to be sold anywhere except for CDs or their own personal app, but they keep almost all of their music locked down, so that you can’t really listen to it legally anywhere. Fans of their music often take it and put it in YouTube. Putting it in the background helps me focus and get stuff done… but is it okay to listen to that music for free if, technically, the company doesn’t want you doing that? It’s certainly a good question for a priest.

If music is free on line, you are welcome to use it. Beware of getting sidetracked by scruples.

Did you understand the question? Obviously it wasn't meant to be free but someone else uploaded them for free without permission.
It reminds of a certain family of somebody who made a lot of traditional catholic talks that was actually quite mad when they found out people spread his talks online, for free, because at the same time they sell his CDs. I helped speaking to one channel to have the talks taken down because the family would like people to pay for them.

When I went from New Order to Traditional, I had many friends, who turned out not being friends.  When I tried to get in contact with them later, i get, " oh, we thought you left, out of state.  Others, oh, you are a pope basher.  then they said, "you are schismatic.  I was a part of a pro life group, and testified at the Capitol against abortion federal $$$.  

Then my family, my siblings.  I couldn't tell them to go somewhere else, because Indiana has no valid priest.  When I did not accept my step father, (a divorcee and my mother who wanted a marriage rigged).  Sisters who have been divorced 5 total, were not happy with me.  

I read federal grants for AZ, to prove the dioceses was supporting sex education and $$ for abortion through the Catholic Charities (1992).  Still my lady friends of the new order saw these docuмents and some did not want to see them.  Still  they stayed in new order.  My family left in 1996, I had enough.
