The Double-Dip Mentality

[Occhidiangela]

No worries.

Once again, since nobody has answered, what is the difference between me making copy of some music to CD or cassette and mailing it to somebody, which is completely and totally 100% legal, and me making a copy of something and emailing it or zapping it over a messaging service? The spirit of the law is the same. I am NOT making any profit off of the transfer, so there is no harm, no foul. No real law being broken.

I doubt anybody will be able to answer this in a satisfactory means.

"Satisfactory?" Does that mean that if you can't have a simplistic answer, you presume there is no answer at all?

When you make a statement regarding the 'right" relative to copyrighted material, I suggest you are better off answering your question by using Google, Yahoo, or uncovering any number of web resources. Many of these cases are covered at websites visited and populated by intelligent and informed posters whose background is in the law, specifically copywright law.

.edu sites for Columbia, Cornell, and many other law schools have quite a bit of this stuff posted in Adobe, easy to read.
