Copyright Notes

Copyright law exists to protect the work of creators so that they may benefit from their labor. Fair use allows the owner of a copyrighted work to make a copy for himself as a safeguarding backup. Common sense dictates the ownership of said copy remains with the owner of the original recording. See section 108 of the U.S. Copyright Act. As a warning, also read chapter 11.

In the spirit of this law, I won't make CDRs of commercially available recordings currently available; I will not make more than one copy of the CDR; I will delete the files from my hard drive.
