I disagree, any time I've given or received a copied tape\CD the other party
wouldn't have bother to buy it him\herself. Indeed most of the time it's
been offered before the receiving party has even heard more than one
track("hey do you want a copy of this!").
Personally, if I've liked the tape\CD I've gone and bought the original
because I'm the type of geek who likes having the original jewl case.
There is one exception; mix-tapes, if you can tell me how I can buy the
rights to the mix-tape that my best friend gave me aged 11 so I could hear
some new bands, feel free to tell me. The same goes for the mix-CD I gave to
my ex-girlfriend should I have bought her the rights for them first? Not
exactly romantic is it? Fortunately we have fair dealing laws though...
