| Mystery Names On the Back of My Favoraite Albums Phil Walden died the other day. He's another name on some great albums.It's not as if these people are unknown, it's just that they seemingly don't the acclaim they deserve. | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Herman, your used record store idea is a pretty transparent attempt to circumvent the law. I think you would lose if prosecuted/sued. We don't have to agree, but I will note that I find it interesting that as the starter of this thread you are now... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need How can you possibly believe that not being allowed to make multiple copies of their copyrighted work is somehow screwing you??My understanding of the current law is that I am allowed to make multiple copies of purchased copyrighted material for m... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need So you really don't think a household can make multiple copies? Okay, can a household make a single copy? Read the commentary on Sony vs. Univversal (1984).I don't want to screw the artist, but I certainly don't want to get screwed by them either.... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Herman, I see the connection, it's just that one case is clearly prohibited by law and the other is not. That's the way the laws are written and interpreted. If you want the law changed to make both scenarios illegal, then contact your legislators... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Herman, it is clearly illegal to make a copy of copyrighted material and then to sell that copy. There is no dispute whatsoever about that issue. Making a copy and selling the original is open to debate. On the surface both scenarios may have the ... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Edesilva, very nice analysis. I fully recognize that this issue is not fully legally decided and I would imagine that future court cases will only partly clarify the morass. The RIAA is not a consumer advocate group. They would love to have CDs gr... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Herman, I asked you to cite the law that prohibited buying/ripping/selling and you have not done so. Your refusal to do so undermines all your other arguments.My understanding of fair use does not place specific limits on the number of copies or t... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need When you sell the disc you are giving up your right to use it.Herman, show me the specific article of federal law that says that. Also, does my "license" to use the legally made copy expire in the event of theft or causualty?The artist was compens... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need What is the claimed injury by the RIAA if I purchased an album, rip it to my hard drive and then resell the original album? The artist, record company, distributor and retailer have all been duly compensated by my original purchase. If the claim i... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need You do not have to physically possess the original to legally have a copy. If you originally purchased the album and then ripped it to a hard drive, made a CD-R, etc., you have a legal right to do anything you want with that original as long as it... | |
| Why don't they make a dedicated iPod just for... You are out of touch with high tech product marketing. The lifespan of these products is too short to perfect the product. The goal is to get the product to the market first and then gain maximum market penetration in the shortest possible time. A... | |
| Why don't they make a dedicated iPod just for... You're out of luck. The video is a big selling point for the iPod and it's a very safe bet that any large capacity new model will prominently feature the video capabilities. If it's that important, then the iPod is not the product for you. | |
| what is the purpose of a stereo system ? Phd, now I have to ask, are you serious?Actually, the original question deserves a good answer and mine system is designed to make me happy while I listen to music.Only slightly less serious, I'm old enough to remember the days when Hefner stood i... | |
| what is the purpose of a stereo system ? My system is a babe magnet par excellence. Ever since I cryo'd the walls, floor and all the furniture, I just can't keep up with all the propositions I get. The chicks think it's way cool! |
