Not sure about the Welshman in Worcester - I can see the logic in it, but... Anyway, it is definitely illegal in almost all countries. However, I'd say the chance of detection & punishment is effectively nil. I think that Radiohead CD's should be destroyed anyway, but that's just me :-) -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
