It may be helpful to think of professional wedding photos. You are not allowed to take a photo to the printer and have one exact copy made for your parents, or even for your own bedroom, because it's copyrighted by the photographer. The printer will refuse if it looks too professional, or ask you to prove that you took the original, mainly since you don't have negatives.
In my opinion (which is not a lawyer's), slimserver itself operates in the gray area. The audio home recording act allows for a copy to be made to cd-r, as royalties have been paid on blank discs and digital tape, but nowhere is a hard disk drive mentioned. Last time I checked even the RIAA said it's 'ok' to use the iPod etc, but only informally (and contrarily to other statements of theirs). It would be nice to have a legal precedent, and I think the Electronic Frontier Foundation has a petition online you can sign in support of a more technologically minded bill. -- Skunk ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Skunk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34366 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
