Your other point on cassette tapes is probably a valid one since there

at present no tapes being sold. But if you were to go the other way, to
copy a tape to a CD, you would be stealing because that product is being
sold.

Sorry, I don't buy that argument. I paid for it once, if I wish to
transcribe it to another form of media, I think I have every right to do
so.

You do. Unless the CD is encrypted, your license allows you to to
transfer it to another medium for your own personal use (AFAIK).

You are also allowed to tape off of the radio as well.

Used to tape a lot of stuff off the radio, but it always sounded awful on
playback, compared to LP's, which is what was available at the time.

Someday I'll get a CD recorder and maybe that will be better, but for now,
I'll stick with buying CD's. Just ordered some from BMG, and I'm very
anxious to replace my stolen copy of Sooper Session, especially now that it
has been re-mastered.

Hopefully somebody will release a CD of Yamashta, Winwood, and Shrieve's GO.
Come to think of it I haven't searched for that one in a very long time.
