The deal is that if you copy msic onto a data CD then you are
cracking a anti copy device.

Carl I don't know about your weird rites, but I never copy msic onto
data CDs.

The day you get a MP3 capable CD player in your car - you'll
wonder why you didn't get one years before.

Joe I suspect you mean: "copy music onto data CDs".

I've been doing that for years - I have both a MP3-playing portable CD
player and a MP3-playing car CD player. I also have 2 MP3 playing
stand-alone DVD players, actually a recorder and a player. Then I have
two PCs with DVD burners and readers in them.

Valle is probably wondering why they don't just pack a Federal Court
summons with each MP3-capable optical disc player that is sold. LOL!


The fact that the product exists does not mean using it is legal.
All the arguments you have made simply establish motive and method.
Arny says he doesn't think that he should have to pay to enjoy the
benefits of enjoying music in a new format, and yet a major part of the
recording business is providing re-issue of back catalog on new format.
It is as simple as it sounds. The rights to the revenues derived from the
production of copyrighted materials belong to the copyright holders. The
fact that you are not prosecuted does not legitimize the act.
Not everybody who is speeding gets a ticket.

Unless you can quote the Federal law that makes it a crime to make copies of
something you already paid for, and that is intended only for use by the
original purchaser, I will maintain you are wrong. You can not make copies
to sell or even give away, but you can make them for your own personal use.
