Yep, I agree and I ran into the very same problem. The way the law is written, really
sucks.

I have a recording that I think is about 5th genereation. It is on a sample MD the I
gor from a list memeber some time ago. He recorder various test signals on it and made
several generations of copies. It was hard to tell the difference from one copy to the
next until you got past 5 generations, as I recall. I think the MD is still
available. It was mentioned on the MD comunity page.
