The restrictive law regarding audio is actually the accumulated cruft of 30 years of various legislative acts. The totality of what we have now come from various parts of all the following re: sound recordings: 1998 - DMCA 1995 - Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act 1992 - Audio Home Recording Act 1976 - Copyright Act amendment 1972 - Copyright Act amendment It is worth noting that many people have forgotten about the 1976 Copyright Act Amendment which created the foundational law stating that the copyright owners have the right to limit personal use of audio recordings after First Sale even if you are not "making copies" in any commercial sense. Sound recordings, for many intents and purposes, are explicitly excluded from Fair Use by the 1976 amendment. -James Rogers jamesr@best.com
