Thread Name: Oh no - somebody stole my CD collection
Subject: RE: Oh no - somebody stole my CD collection
Here's an idea: just don't copy GUEST's CDs, because he objects to it.
Oh wait a minute, you don't know who he is! Well, if he doesn't even care enough to tell you whose CDs not to copy, it's not your fault if you accidentally copy his!
Any musicians out there want to object non-anonymously, so maryrrf knows not to copy your CDs?
Here is my take: the artists got a royalty from you already. They could not reasonably expect that you would buy another copy of their CD for yourself. So why should THEY make money off the crime, any more than the criminal?
