Maybe I missed something here. Isn't that what we have been talking
about? Making recordings for our own use. I want to use my minidisc
recorder to record my band practices, stuff off the radio, stuff I have
on CDs that are too big to carry in my pocket or have some tracks that I
don't like, make composite recordings, copy training cassettes so they
are easier to use than on a crumby tape recorder.
Now another question comes up. Since most of my recording is of my
band practice with a microphone, I want to make a copy of the original
so it doesn't get messed up, and edit the copy and arrange the tracks in
a nice order. Now I can't make a digital copy of my own recording
because of that stupid SCMS crap I am forced to deal with. Also, when I
buy my MD blanks, I have to pay a fee just in case I happen to record
someone's CD. Now that is crap.
