I do not understand what you mean by by 'de-constructed.'

It's a standard term - get Atkinson to explain it to you.

I also do not understand or agree that DCMA has already been discounted.

Has it? The faulty object we're talking about here is your interpretation of
copyright law in general, in particular your weird claim that consumer CD
recorders are the only legal thing to use, and that transcribing one's own
LPs with a computer is always illegal.

Do you
mean that you have personally discounted that law? How can a direct
quote of the law be considered inconclusive evidence?

Your quote did not support your claim.

You have just
made up all that because you know you are wrong.

Nope.

Read the EULA on any computer sound recording software. Read the
disclaimers inside any digital recorder manual.

Been there, done that.

I stand by my statement that recording copyrighted materials by any
means is a violation of copyright.

You get to be wrong.

The use of 'SCMS' equipment and
media provides a safe harbor for some limited uses of second
generation copies. These copies are pirates however.

You get to be wrong.

The use of
computers and other non-SCMS recording devices and media is not
provided with the same safe harbor. Computer recording of copyright
protected materials is illegal by every measure.

You get to be wrong.

My hypothesis is proved by the law i have quoted to you.

You get to be wrong.

You are
wrong about fair use, and you are wrong about this argument that
these laws can be deconstructed.

You get to be wrong.


Your statements cannot be supported either by law, nor by precedent.

You've never adequately supported this claim.

If they could, you should have already given some evidence other than
your constant arguments about my knowledge of copyright law. I don't
really know if you have any experience or knowledge of copyright at
all, but I do have quite a lot of legal experience with this area. I
am quite sure of my statements, especially now that these issues have
been taken out of the hands of arbitrary civil law, and have been
re-defined as criminal law.

So, now you're a lawyer? Yeah sure, and Richman is an ethical doctor.

As I stated in my original post, most 'home tapers' will probably
continue to violate these laws. It is a minor point I suppose. But
the fact remains that recording on a computer, a valuable library,
turns that library into a pile of pirates that cannot be sold, given
away or traded. I stand by that statement.

You've never adequately supported this claim.
