Hi again. Before i reverted back to my faith, I used to download alot of torrents and files online… I only downloaded though and never seeded. And even so… The laws regarding filesharing here in my county are not even clear cut unlike in the US where it is clearly illegal. Since I came clean, I had not downloaded a single thing online…its been months since i last used bitcomet and frostwire. However, i was wondering that since I turned over a new leaf, what am I supposed to do with all the stuff that I have downloaded / acquired? Lets get straight to the point… Although I have already come clean about my deeds in confession, can I still keep the files I downloaded?? Its just that alot of the stuff that I did download are rare finds and can not be easily found in stores or in itunes… Can I pay God instead (via Church offering) or another act of penance (giving money to the poor) and keep these files since I already have them anyway?? Specifically, I have alot of classical / piano music and meditation music I like plus some hiphop and house music that simply cannot be found at an HMV or a BestBuy. I really want to keep them and I doubt itll make a difference anyway whether I keep them or delete them since the amount of my downloads are nothing close compared to the large scale operations of those big time seeders and uploaders.
(because how can anyone lay claim to an abstract idea) but that is whole other issue. plus the church does say that file sharing is wrong, but yeah, what you said sounds like a good act of penance. but still ask your priest though.
