How can I be 'prejudiced' about something that doesn't interest me?

If it didn't "interest" you, would you have posted the remark that started
this argument? - I think not. You frequently post negative comments about
CD, hardly the behaviour of someone who is "not interested".

Unlike you and one or two others here who go into a frenzy

Frenzy? oh please!


Just a little tit for tat for the 'rant' (or was it 'rave'?) I got hit with
a few days ago.

(It's true what they say - they can dish it out but they can't take it! ;-)



True, a "wager" is rather stronger than a mere "claim". After all you are
implying that this is something that you believe in strongly enough to
risk
your money on.


Streuth....


Ah, but my use of the word "prejudice" to apply to your attitude to CD is
not mere guesswork, nor is it "bull****ting" or "making things up". Rather
it is a logical deduction based on the many, many prejudiced comments
about
CD that you have posted here over the years.


Hoo? Mee? :-)


Given your posting history it
simply is not credible for you to deny being prejudiced against CD.


Why are you so sensitive and 'defensive' of what is shortly going to prove a
passing music media format - you got shares in them or summat? ;-)

If you gave me a CD, I would rip it to disk (256K) and give the CD to the
local Heart Shop....

Yes, there's a fella on another NG who does this, except he threatens a
little more than make a personal note!

He insisted I destroy all the CDs I'd ripped, rather than give to
charity. Not sure what he was threatening me with - never saw it through
to my knowledge at any rate.

That's exactly what I'd do if given an LP - assuming it had worthwhile
content. They take up far too much room...

Strictly speaking ripping a CD (or an LP for that matter) to a computer,
iPod etc. is a breach of copyright law. However the rights owners recognise
that with the advent of such media libraries people expect to be able to rip
music to them and have let it been known that they regard this as
permissible.

*However* they do expect people to have paid for the material they rip,
either by having bought the CD or LP or paying for a download. If you pass
the source media on to someone else they would expect you to delete the rip.
Not doing so is a clear breach of copyright law. Personally I think that to
be perfectly reasonable, ripping a CD and then passing it on is no better
than downloading without payment.

No threats, just an observation.

The point is that the license to listen to the music on the CD is sold with
the CD and inseperable from it.

If you give away or sell the CD, you also give up your licence to listen to
the music.

If you keep the CD then you keep your license to listen to the music, which
you may exercise by listening to a backup of the media, such as the Mp3
file.

That doesn't work, either.

Obviously, there is no copyright police that are going to go around and
check on this.

However, copyright owners have been pretty sucessful at making public
examples of people they select randomly.

Another 'all mouth and no trousers' Net Nazi' but someone had better inform
the St Neots Heart shop - they've got a sign in the window asking for CDs
and DVDs!

OK, how do you feel about having someone else in the room when you are
playing a CD *you* paid for? Do you think they should send a 'listening fee'
to the record company who released the CD?

If it is a private listening for friends and/or family, then it is a
licensed use.

I already paid!

If the sign says "Please make a copy of your CD/DVD and keep that to use
yourself when you give the discs to us" then I hope no-one from the BPI or
a publisher (CD company) walks by and notices the sign. Could be costly for
the "Heart Shop". If the sign says nothing like that, they you might find a
court would take you to be entirely responsible for your own actions -
regardless of if you like that outcome or not.

AIUI The UK courts don't normally accept ignorance of the law as an excuse.

Above comments made purely for "the avoidance of all doubt" as 'M'learned
Friends might say. Aim being to help you avoid putting yourself at legal
risk due to wilful ignorance on your part. But if in doubt, perhaps you
should contact the publisher. Tell *them* what you did and ask them if they
think they could (or will) sue either you or the 'Heart Shop'. That will
resolve the matter for you without having to waste time arguing the point
here. :-)

Personally, I think your confession was rather unwise. If you didn't put
an 'x no archive' in your header [1] then your statement will be openly
available on the usenet archives for anyone to trawl up at any future point.

Slainte,

Jim

[1] Given the trouble you have with the simple task of writing items
in thread I suspect you may have no idea about how to do that. The
header of the relevant postings you made doesn't seem to have a req
to not archive.
