I haven't heard one yet for ripping a CD that someone owned for use on his own MP3 player. Distribution, even unintentional, is different. I also haven't heard of any claims against software to rip CDs. Do you remember when they wanted to charge royalty fees for every blank cassette sold? That was shot down, IIRC. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
