Are electrochemical copies of songs
Edited on Sat Jul-26-03 02:07 AM by kgfnally
forbidden under current US copyright law?

If so, our musical memories are unauthorized, and we can be sued for sharing them. :)

on edit: This is a serious question. If electrochemical copies are, under copyright law, unauthorized copies, who here honestly believes that if the RIAA could erase our memories of 'their' music, they would refrain from doing so?

In other words, do you think if the RIAA could erase our memories of lyrics and melody, they would refrain from doing so?

Heh. 'Refrain.'

Heheheh.

2. WELL then.
But that doesn't answer my question.

My question is this:

Are unauthorized electrochemical copies of music legal? I certainly am talking about our memories of the music itself in this case.

3. I have no idea...
...but rest assured, the RIAA will find a loophole in copyright law or pay to create one in order to erase people's memories at the moment it needs to do that.

4. I think they're primarily concerned about reproduction
of the music.

Digital reproduction is easy and accurate.

Electrochemical reproduction is probably even easier but the accuracy and quality may be a bit lacking (in my case, it sure would be! :crazy:)
