The support forum for a large, successful open source software project. A good number of the regular posters on this forum own copyrights on parts of slimserver or associated applications, and an even larger number are developers for other projects/in other capacities. I'd say there are probably a very large number of copyright holders here.

Or the music I make myself? Oh you mean music for which the copyright owner has exercised their right to charge per copy? That's an important distinction. Balancing the rights of listeners to use the music they purchase as they see fit and the rights of musicians to get paid for their work is indeed a difficult problem. DRM isn't the answer, for so many reasons. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29626 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/ripping
