*** Quoting STEVE KEMP from a message to SEAN DENNIS ***

SK> Not to say that I know for sure, like I said. But I don't recall a 
SK> provision for copying for personal use...what with  one owning the 
SK> original in the first place, what would be the point?

In case something happened to the original.  If the tape got eaten up or the 
DVD got scratched.
I don't know about that either.  I don't know why it would be, but I don't 
think I've heard about that being a problem.  Who knows?

SK> lover  before the gubment and Metalica came down. ;)

SK> I'll be truthful...I stole s***! I did it to see if I liked it 
SK> though, and then I bought what I liked!

Well, I'm not arguing for it or against it in this message, but I think it's 
one thing if it's to try it out to make sure you're not buying something you 
don't like, and another if the person is trying to be cheap.
I think bands and labels should just let you listen to it online to make sure 
you like it.  I think it's called streaming audio when you can listen to it 
without downloading it.  I think MP3.com did that, but as far as I know, 
everthing on that site was OK to listen to/download.

I don't know how many people fit into the category of being cheap and not 
caring about buying it and how many into the category of previewing, though.

Maybe they get permission first?  When I go to music stores, like one tonight, 
where people can sample songs, the sample were only segments.
