Anyway, personal uses haven't been illegal, and fair use is generally an ineffective way of looking at them.
I'll see if I can dig that reference up one of these days. I recall at least one member of Congress expressing skepticism as to the implication that the law they passed would restrict this type of use. Section 1008 also prohibits lawsuits for noncommercial copies that use an analog or digital copying device (which does not include a computer, by the way). Part of this action (giving the copy to a friend or family member) does not meet that criteria. Copyright restricts distribution of copies to the public. Historically copyright has not restricted personal uses, which I believe this act is. We have the copying act and the distribution act, and all the copyrights associated with music. They're two different acts, and that makes a difference.Īctually, there are a lot of acts and copyrights affected here.
Copying a CD for a family member or friend is not the same as checking a CD out from a library and copying it. Febru 9:18am COvalle says:I have a few reasons for this belief.įirst, I'm going to distinguish this action from the above analogy.
