Actually wizzler, copy of stuff to reel to reel was never considered illegal, say 20 years ago. It's only in the digital age that the RIAA has tried to carry their valid copyrights to such ludicrous extremes. I'd like to see you get up in a court and argue that making one copy constituted "distribution."

While I don't foresee unfettered p2p copying of copyrighted material being supported by the courts, I don't think you RIAA types are going to be happy at all when the courts "clarify" some of your heavy handed interpretations of copyright law.

Actually, that's simply not true.

I really wish people would quit pulling stuff out of their rumpuses when it comes to the subject of copyright.
