Hehehehe this thread is cracking me up. In one corner -
the pious fine
citizen of society strictly adhering to the letter of the
law; on the other
side - a dude who stands up for the "ordinary guy's" point
of view, not so
worked-up over such matters. It's a wonderful tussle.
Gotta love Usenet!

Your right, it is a pretty humorous thread!

Can't get excited or worked up over a few pennies of
copyright royalties!

On usenet, you survive by your wits only, nothing else
matters! ;-)

And if not? What would you do about it? N-O-T-H-I-N-G! You're just
spouting BS to line your pockets.

You really are a **** aren't you? The OP was merely expressing a
reluctance to break copyright law by playing a commercial recording at a
funeral. Given that copyright law still applies and the church is
unlikely
to hold a PRS licence, it seems a reasonable concern.

Petty arsehole.

Watch it, you're coming periliously close to being called a petty
arsehole too!!!! G

EXACTLY! It just illustrates what a petty arsehole you are.



I consider, sir, that you are being abusive. It is possibly because of
the cross-posting going on here. On the forum I am visiting
(uk.music.misc) we tend to be polite.

The point is not what the cost is, but what the right thing to do is.

Actually I said nothing about getting into trouble. I was pointing out
the right thing to do.

Sir, you are being abusive. Please desist.

I suspect I attend and am involved in more funerals than you, since I
play the organ for them all in my church, so have considerable sympathy
for the bereaved. My comments were in fact aimed at the church, whose
responsibility it is to attend to these copyright matters.

I really don't remember any mention of "cops" or "arrest". In fact
copyright breach is a civil offence and not a criminal one.
