Hi, First I copied B&S cd's. Then I thought that I earned enough so I could afford to buy them and provide the band members with some royalty. But what about the bootlegs? I can decline from copying them, or copy them without paying any royalty, but I can't copy them without infringing the rights of the band. Why don't Belle and Sebastian mention a bank account number and a figure to pay as copyright fee for a copy? It would ease my conscience.... With humility, Scardanelli. PS: it is not that I am against the possibility to copy for free. When I was a student that was my only possibility to broaden my musical horizon. But those days are long gone ("April und May und Junius sind ferne"), and SOME people have to pay in order to let others be able to copy. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
