Lovely quote

[green_amber]

from A Nother mailing list trying desperately to think how to condemn the raid on TV LInks while not aligning themseves with (gasp!) software piracy.

""Organised crime DVD factories take money away from rights owners and use
it to fund organised criminal activities (which our government has claimed
includes drugs and terrorism). File sharers still take the money away
from the rights owners but at least your typical student file sharer will
be spending it on textbooks and beer"

Fair point but in the case I witnessed (Steve Wynn at King Tuts a few years back) it actually says in the Artists CD liner notes that Taping for non-commercial purposes is ok, which is presumably something the Manager/Label is ok with?

But no way the premises can know you're not a commercial bootlegger in which case they, not you, get sued by the label... they;re in the worst position of anyone in the copyright wars.
