How many of you good folk writing in this column actually earn ALL of your living as musicians and or composers.

If you do... shame on you for not constantly mentioning copyright.

Mp3 etc. is wonderful, but with music 'down the wire' comes abuse on a scale never seen or thought about.

SACEM the French org. is banging the drum about 'private piracy'... this is the act of copying from a CD to a cassette etc. It s illegal... is it not?

Look at the inside cover of many books printed in the UK.. the copyright says you cannot lend or borrow the book. Music is the same.

Blah blah blah... but folks... think...please.
