- Guess I must have missed that chapter in Copyright law, cause
- I don't ever remember seeing anything that said copyright law
- wanted to prohibit an individual from making accurate copies
- of a tape:-) :-)
-
- For me, I'll continue to create my own CD library of audio and
- from that I'll source any medium tape I want. That is not now,
- any violation. I note that any tapes I make are for my personal
- use.
