With all this talk about fines & converscating of equipment etc etc....

Does this mean
I should stop trying to get all the old vinyl on to disc or is it ok as seen as I own the orignals?

RLAA says its ok to have i think a different format of a song you have (eg. cda music in mp3 format on a data cd), but you are not allowed to distrubute it.

Unfortunatly, under UK law you can't copy any thing, if you do, you get a slapped hand.

I know that in Canada the law has changed over recent years thank to my good friends Glenn Miller and Derek Hampson.

I believe Glenn was the first person to get the new licence to make and play MP3's.


For the legalities on your side of the pond, check out United States Online DJA, they are the Can / Am equiv of this forum (but not as good - do I get anothre cheque now Chris )

cant you go off an campaign to change this law Mikkeee...
Pleaasseeee

I'm trying, and before anyone say's anything, i'm very trying.

me confused!!!
cant copy my own music....means have to replace it....in other words buy it all again on cd

Me is off to campaign myself...

When you purchase music in the UK, you are not buying it, you are purchasing the right to play it at home to yourself for your own pleasure.

Good point, although tehre are forums over here, this is one is the best one i've visited. That must suck to not have permission for mp3s....Who (compeny) is in charge of that? And if i moved, there would be no more funny things from/about puala
