Are you sure? I thought this was hashed out by the supreme court when the tape cassete came out. People could make cheap copies of songs from the radio or from records, and the record companies took some cases to court to get it settled once and for all. I paid attention because my entire family was interested in both music and supreme court decisions, and I particularly was into making cassette tapes off the radio. IIRC, the decision was that you Could NOT sell or rent copies for money, which included a group of people chipping in to buy an album and each getting a tape copy. Could NOT publish, meaning make a lot of copies. COULD make copies for your own use. COULD make a small number of copies to give or loan to friends. As far as I know, none of this has been reversed since then. But I could be wrong. --- Chip ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
