Ralf11 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I keep most of mine in cardboard boxes that fit the plastic cases. The boxes are scattered around the house & garage, making it difficult for me to find a particular CD. A few are on shelves in the living room (a few means < 1,000). The plan is to keep only SACD & DVD discs in the living room... but it is surprisingly hard to eliminate the silvery lil' buggers in any organized fashion... I use Time Machine to back up my ripped Apple Lossless files, and should eport the whole thing onto an external HDD which also contains older time machine backups and eventually finds its way to offsite storage...

Ralf11 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Do you have a cite for a requirement to keep the original CD in your possession? What if you have proof of purchase - a receipt? Or suppose your house flooded and the CD was swept away but you were able to save your portable HDD which had copies of the ripped CD and your purchase receipt...? Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 it all depends on the exact wording of the statute, and Congressional intent - that is what will (or should) determine the case law and any cases on the matter may or may not apply to you I have not read any of the above except some portions of the statute, and some of the Complaints the big record companies filed against some college students who were "sharing" with their "friends" (all over the internet) Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Not always - I know several hundred people who take on big money and win Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 the ones I'm thinking of are local - at the Univ. here - they settled Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 yes, a state or federal agency (the latter is defended by the "world's largest law firm - or so they advertise themselves) or a large polluting company think David and Goliath Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 do you know if they won? or have a cite? Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Thx - I found an Elec. Freedom Frontier paper on this but it did not mention UofM Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 They would like to control and prevent purchasers of CDs from disseminating the contents. And properly so. The problems arise from the means they have used to do so. Bystander 1 Link to comment
