Please! I just want to read about MDs and Japanese Love Holidays! It's the same people expressing the same opinions over & over (notably Salzberg, the Rat, and Magic). This was the last straw for me, from Magic: >> "No action may be brought under this title alleging >> infringement of copyright based on the manufacture, >> importation, or distribution of a digital audio >> recording device, a digital audio recording medium, an >> analog recording device, or an analog recording >> medium, or based on the noncommercial use by a >> consumer of such a device or medium for making digital >> musical recordings or analog musical recordings." > >This just says you can't sue people for supplying equipment which can be >used to infringe copyright. It does not say you are allowed to breach >copyright at all. > >It says that if I were Richer Sounds for example, and I sell you an MD >recorder, nobody can sue me if you then go and copy somebody elses CD with >it. It does NOT say you can breach copyright and get away with it. To me this paragraph makes noncommercial consumer recording unactionable. You're saying if I as a consumer used a MD device _commercially_ to copy copyrighted material the manufacturer, importer, or distributor would be liable? (I know I would be.) ----------------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this list send a message containing just the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
