Greetings,

I thought my comment which started this thread was clearly referring only to 
long out of print tracks. I too buy CDs and copy to minidisc format for use 
in teaching and in the car. I also make up CDs specifically for special 
purposes but all from material which I have purchased. Like Oberdan I would 
be right at the front of the line if TAC, or whoever, ever released the Stan 
Hamilton recordings to replace my home-made ones. But there is some great 
music out there that is NOT generally available. The one thing that really 
infuriates me in copyright discussions is the "no you can't buy a copy 
because it is out of print and we have no plans to reissue but you'll be 
sued if you make a copy" (?)
