Hello,
Concerning the discussion on copyright, I attach 2 important directives of the European Parliament and of the Council. The way national states will incorporate these directives in their national legislation can vary a little bit. The purpose of these directives is the harmonisation of the legislation in the different member states (which vary considerably) in order to make the functioning of the internal market smoother and to adjust the proper development of the information society. In Belgium the copyright is organised by the law of 30th June 1994, changed by the law of 3th April 1995. The law of 31th Aug. 1998 adapts the Belgian legislation on the European directive 96/9/EC. In the commissions of the parliament are activities to prepare the adaptation of the legislation on the European directive 2001/29/EC.

In continuation of Thomas' posting I have now added a new web page on copyright issues to the Icking archive. The page, http://icking-music-archive.sunsite.dk/copyright.html, contains links to the documents mentioned by Thomas.
A link to the new page is found near the top of the main page of our archive.
I encourage all of you to send me suggestions for additional stuff for the new page.
