Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Go to the record store and ask for it by name.
(But seriously, a must-have).

Ooh, I need more Pink Martini! And thanks for your suggestions, Corwood. Some I already have, but there were several albums in there that I'd forgotten I wanted to buy.

A. Yes. Yes, they will.
I love that article, and I own a vintage Galaxie 500 shirt.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm not being judgy as I have a few copies of music on burned CDs and many many on casette tape I'm just curious...
Is turning your CDs into MP3s and then re-selling them equivalent to owning pirated copies? If I understand correctly the RIAA's position, you can make as many copies as you want for your own use as long as you bought the commercial recording. Does selling the commercial recording (admittedly at a significant loss) make the copies that you burned "pirated"?

My understanding is that's grey area, Laga. I think the RIAA argued this same situation before the Supreme Court when commercially available audiocassettes came on the market, and lost this argument. Does it hold with audially superior digitized copies? I don't know.

I don't know. I might have to work Saturday night, so I can't commit to anything. Are you going?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
It's a perfect question to ask a law school class, but I don't see it under the law. Copying for your personal use and reselling your CDs aren't prohibited, so there shouldn't be a problem with doing both.
