I expected it to be that simple but the more I google, the grayer the subject appears to be. Much revolves around "fair use" and "audio home recording act". On these the Wikipedia pages are informitive but if you go the the "discussion" tabs, the experts are arguing behind the curtain. Also important I think is a legal case that allowed the eIPod and its ilk, RECORDING v DIAMOND : http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=9th&navby=case&no=9856727 Some activist sites like:http://www.nyfairuse.org/ flat out say that its legal as long as there is no profit motive. I can't digest any more text for now but I've seen enough references to "Digital Millennium Act" that I would guess that's important too. I agree that what I describe is no different from making a CD copy for a friend, but from what I'm reading, I'm not certain either is illegal. -- Harry G ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Harry G's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1165 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34366 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
