Yes, that was my point. Can you imagine the families of Picasso or Monet demanding a cut from Cristies every time one of their paintings is re-sold? Copying music from a buddy, who purchased the music, for personal use shouldn't be illegal. Nor should making a copy of music or movies that you legally own. Only copying someone else's work and passing it off as your own creation should be illegal. The recording labels and artists need to realize that they don't have a right to an unlimited revenue stream. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
