: : Thanks so much for your help! This one has always plagued me. Too bad, I really want to copy some CD's, oh well. Thanks again!! : : p.s. it's not "Mr.", happens to be "Mrs." :o] : Dear Madam: : Recording a television program for your later household viewing is not an infringement. : Recording music from the radio or making a copy from a CD to tape (from a copy that you own) (for your own use) is not an infringement. : Recording your friend's CD would be a technical infringement - although not an actionable one in a realistic court of law. : Having your friend record their own CD onto a tape (for their own use) is not an infringement. : Receiving the tape from a friend as a gift, though a technical "distribution" of an unauthorized copy would not make you morally or legally liable. : If your friend were to sell you the used CD and you taped it for your own use - it would not be an infringement. : If the world were filled with responsible and consicentious citizens like you, we attorneys would be out of a job. : Best Regards, : Anderson & Shippey : Offices in Irvine and San Francisco, California : www.copyrightpros.com
