One kind of copying I do occasionally do, and I can't really morally justify is as follows: I get a record, i like it, and I have a friend I think might particularly like it, or might want a tune off it for their next record or whatever.I can't afford to buy a new one and sendit to them, and anyway that might be a scale of present i dont feel like making: I may not know them that well, or it's not their birthday.So I do the obvious thing, i copy the track or the whole thing and send it to them. Those are the sort of occasions where you shoud remember, and buy the musicians concerned a drink if you run into them. (Unless its an orchestra). Harvey Andrews: you're in the classic musician's dilemma: you're bloody angry if they copy your CDs, but you'ld be bloody depressed if they didn't.
