I have an 80M SCSI I if you're interested.
Actually, I have two (DEC RZ23-E), but one's broken.
I'll have to test to see which one works and which doesn't.

They don't have a chance. "Sharing with your friends so that they
can make copies" is *NOT* authorized copying under the copyright
laws...OF ANY PERIOD in US history.
You *MAY* make a copy of a CD...or even multiple copies of a CD,
"for personal use"...such as, one to keep in the living room, one
that sits in your car's CD changer, and a 3rd copy that you keep
in the office. That's legitimate, as you will never be playing
more than one copy at the same time.
However, when you "share" with your friend (i.e. let him make a
copy), that is *NOT* personal use, because you and your friend
might BOTH be using copies at the same time.
If Napster could GUARANTEE that only ONE person (either the
contributor, or any people who made copies) will be playing
either the contributor's original, or *ANY* of the copies
(or subsequent copies made off of those), *THEN* Napster could
be allowed to operate as always, with no problems...because
it's like the "book being checked out of the library" situation.
The problem is, lots of people have checked out copyrighted
items from their local library (or video store, or wherever),
made copies, and think that this is legal under the "fair use"
clause. It is not. So, they wrongly believe that, since
Napster-style copying is the "same thing", that it's legal
also. Their conclusion is BETTER stated as Napster-copies
have the SAME legal status as a recording made from a CD
or album checked out from the library.
They think Napster copies are legal because they ERRONEOUSLY
think that copies made from library-loaned materials are legal.

You can't regulate ideas, merely particular EXPRESSIONS of the idea.
Example...you can draw a picture of a scene, and copyright it. I
can draw a similar picture, even focusing on the same thing, and it
is not a copyright violation. On the other hand, if I simply
photocopy your image, and distribute it, that IS a copyright violation.

By putting the material onto a website, the copyright holder
is making a de facto statement that using a browser to view
the material *IS* authorized reproduction...BUT nothing else
(other than the usual rules allowing excerpts, copying for
discussion, etc.)

And it's entirely legal.
You can talk about potential crimes all you want (as long as it's not
killing the president or few other government officials).
You can talk all day about ways of blowing up cars, whose car
you think should be blown up... whose house you think should be
blown up....what is the best time to blow up the house...whether
it should be while the owner is inside, or not...
it's all perfectly legal.
As long as you don't complete this sentance: "I AM GOING TO ...."
or "I am planning to ..."
Then it becomes a criminal act.
Therefore, I can discuss to my heart's content exactly which sort
of projectile I feel is best suited for William Gates III.
I can discuss the pros and cons of various times of the day, and
which location...anything I so desire...
So, anyways, I've changed my mind.
I think 180 grain is better.
