Subject: RE: Breach of Copyright - and Integrity
Guest. I agree. It reminds me of another enthusiastic novice who decided to record the singers and musicians at a certain traditional music/song weekend, a few years ago.

No problems. Nobody objected. But then the guy decided to make a CD of the proceedings without asking any of the people he planned to put on the disc. I was one of them and what that says about his musical taste is anybody's guess. All I can say is that I would never have consented to his using the song he'd chosen, had I been asked.

When it was pointed out that you just can't do that kind of thing, it had clearly never occurred to him that he might be breaching the law or people's codes of ethics, and he imediately cancelled the project.

Sometimes it's as well to remember that there are people around who are just not as well clued up on these things as some of the rest of us.
