Subject: RE: Making folk club recordings available
Thanks again, Guest. Much appreciated.
Is the word "illegal" right though? Surely, if it is illegal, it is a criminal offence and can result in criminal prosecution and punishment? Or is that what unlawful means? I always get the terms confused!
Anyhow, whatever the case, posting or performing copyrighted music would not incur criminal proceedings but civil ones would it not? And, as long as the party performing or posting complied with any ruling on the civil case, they would not be prosecuted. Or is that too simplistic?
