who me? no, i think i've only called 2 people morons today.

I'm simply correcting inaccurate statements that have been made for the benefit of other TA's who may be misinformed. If that loses me respect, well hey, i'll live with that.

Also the fact that tranceaddict.com does not support filesharing on its forums, and posts about filesharing will be closed/deleted as appropriate

Well I didn't start this topic nor have any of my posts supported/encouraged filesharing in any way. In fact I would infer the opposite.
I'm all for closing/deleting this topic but whilst it is open I think readers have a right to know what the facts are.

well this topic certainly dosen't encourage filesharing so it might not get closed... appears to me that the author (idiot) got jumped all over by people who know better.

Of course it's illegal to record or share mixes OR singles... most of the livesets that are traded around are recorded from a radio station somewhere and that right there makes it an illegal recording.

and people that burn and SELL recorded mixes should have the book thrown at them... it's assholes like them that make DJs reluctant to send recordings to, say, online radio stations I've gotten asked about it EVERY time I've contacted a DJ about getting mixes.

I see my wisdom is required. First off one must realize that copyright law is not as simplistic as you make it seem. With that in mind one must also see that interpretation of copyright law is different in different parts of the world. To fully understand copyright law in the US (per the RIAA) you have to look at the landmark case which took place in the early 80's (or was it the late 70's, somebody correct me if i'm wrong). This case involved copying movies with a VHS. The ruling ended up being a compromise between outright "stealing" and the ability to make back up copies. This term is loosely used as "fair use". Fair use states that an individual is allowed to make copies of works that have been paid for. It also states that one can lend that to a friend within limits of course(not your 500 friend at school), it is also permissible to tape radio broadcasts as long as you do not intend on rebroadcasting. It is in the term fair use that copyright laws get very convoluted.

As far as neo is concerned...no comment LOL. If he deems that it not legal then...on this board its not,this is not a democracy...its a er...kindalike a fiefdom . Anyway, the bottom line is I don't think anyone here has the wherewithalll to comment on copyright law or its interpretations without first getting some history behind it..
