| I would like to do some MD trading of some popular music groups. However,
| before I do, I would like to know if it is in violation of the copyright
| laws to copy and trade minidiscs which have been recorded from an
| original CD.
IANAL, but...
If the copyright on the original has not expired, giving copies of it to
anyone else while you retain the original is illegal in most jurisdictions.
If you did not legally obtain the original, you have no right whatsoever to
posess copies of it. If you wish to give someone else a copy, you must
give him the original from which the copy is made along with all other
existing copies made from that particular original.
More simply, "trading" copies of a copyrighted work is theft.
