like its gonna get pretty deep before the dust settles. As for copying
music, my music professor stated that a few years ago, some reps. from some
publishing companies visited a few sellect schools from high school to
college to see their music files. They allegedly stated that if the school
had a file copy in their files and stamped with "file" in red ink, they had
no problem with photocopies being handed out to the kids because they
understood how often kids loose or destroy thier copies. But, if they did
not have a file copy of a particular piece in the files, they were subject
to suit...

If true, this would be a SIGNIFICANT change from what has been discussed
here in the past. It would also be a pretty livable situation. I find it
hard to believe the copyright police would be so reasonable!

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is too loud.
