But in those days, we didn't have the internet or e-mail and we communicated with relatively few people. Back in those days, I used to buy bulk open reel tape and split it into five inch reels. Enough for one album per reel; probably about 600 feet. I borrowed albums from anyone who would lend and record one to a reel. Of course, I would lend my albums out for the same purpose. Quite illegal, I would think. I still have about 125 of those reels. And then there were the folks who would "purchase" an album, record it to tape (open reel or cassette) then send it back for a refund. I never did that one. That wasn't fair to anyone. But it's so much nicer now. I have lots of open reels and cassettes, and vinyl that I need to put into mp3 files. It's a long job. I'm hoping I can find someone who wants all those reels, cassettes, and vinyl of music and old radio when I'm done with them.

I also think it's wrong that we have to use Goldwave or Sound Taxi to exercise our fair use rights to the music we've purchased or acquired legally. However, almost as long as cassette tapes have been around, there have been prohibitions against copying and distributing the music we've purchased. Not sure if this was true in the reel to reel days prior to cassettes though. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com On 6/25/2010 3:35 PM, hank smith wrote: > aggreed > the riaa has gotten conpletly out of hand > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howard Traxler" > <htraxl...@earthlink.net> > To: "PC Audio Discussion List" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> > Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 10:12 AM > Subject: removing protection > > > I once bought a Rod Stewart and Dolly Parton track on the Internet.
