It's NEVER not true. You are COMPLETELY protected under the proptery rights
of the Bill of Rights to do ANYTHING you damn well please in the security of your
home...
You legally aquire it, you buy it, it is YOURS, and you can copy itr as much as
you want.

Bullshit. Show me the case law, troll, or shutup. You can't find a SINGLE
case of anyone every prosecuted for making a copy of a book in the home.

Also WRONG. And in fact, this is EXACTLY where the current debate exists.
How many distrbitutions of material is reasonable and what is the nature of the
distribtution.
Howard Berman:
"Nobody here is suggesting that if someone makes a few copies of a song and gives it
to their mother that they should be arrested, or that they violated the law".
READ IT AND WEEP. It's in the Congressional record.
> The site also states that it is legal to give "a

Also - WRONG. There is no predetermination that a copy is illegal.
That is a mater for the court. It's strictly selling a copy which is
illegal.

A COPY OF A UNIQUE WORK? What are you talking about Troll?
You own it, you can destroy it. The single only thing you can do with your property
is threaten public safety with it.

Wrong wrong wrong wrong.
The MP3.com verdict was strictly based on the use of Copying music for
the purposes of business. In fact, that's what nailed Napster as well.
My WHOLE record collection in on a website. SUE ME. PLEASE. I WANT TO BE SUED!!!
SUE ME NOW!!!

This is ALWAYS true. Their IS no recognized license in a cash sale.

You miss read it. Read again troll. It's the arrestion of a private company, not the
law.

The bottom line is your the worse kind of troll, a con artist looking to steal from the
public. Your a threat to the safety and security of the general public.
