Hello Ric, Monday, January 6, 2003, 2:06:48 PM, you textually orated: TR> Ahem;
TR> You don't own the CD's, records, nor tapes. Yes you do. The above that you describe are YOUR PROPERTY. This includes only the physical media and it's container. When someone breaks into your home and steals them, YOU have to file a report. This does NOT imply that you now own the contents of that media. TR> You own a copy of them. Wrong. You don't own a copy. You have a license to use that material as stated by copyright law. This includes the ability to make copies and use for personal use. You can not use it for commercial purposes without additional licensing. TR> That copy gives you the right to "play" them, from their original media. It TR> expressly, does not, give you the right to copy them. Period. Copies for personal use are covered under the terms of "Fair use". This does not mean that you can sell or give them away, but you most certainly can use them for _your_own_ wedding. The DJ (if paid/professional), on the other hand, must make payments to ASCAP for public, commercial airing (regardless of the source). TR> Now with that out of the way. Well, the OP tried to avoid this, but probably only would have if he had not mentioned it. Have fun, -- _________________________________________________________________ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
