Hers what i think. Why convert tracks. If The licensing people at
daytona and Indianapolis were smart they would give the license to
Papyrus. Do you realize how much money the tracks would make off of the
sales of this Track Pack. It would be phenomonal since the demand for
them is so great. Thats just some food for thought for the people at
Indy and Daytona.

Let me put this short and to the point. Sega put up a lot more money than
sierra. That's why we don't have Daytona. Simple, end of story.

Well then by all means somebody should use/create the necessary utlities
to make this track. And once again I point out that there is NOTHING
anybody could do about it if the author chose to remain anonymous.

: Bzzt.
: The big difference is that copying music onto a cassette tape to give to
: a friend is LEGAL. The ruling is that that constitutes "fair use" of the
: copyrighted material.
Jim, it's been awhile since I've checked on this, but I am not quite
sure that this is totally true. While it may be okay to copy portions
of an album or CD to pass onto a friend as a "gift", I still think it is
a violation of copyright laws to make a complete copy. Especially when
the "intent" is to avoid purchasing another copy. It might fall into
the "fair use" catagory if 1 copy is made, but you violate the "fair
use" when you start making multiple copies. At least this is how it
works for libraries, schools, churches, etc. when it comes to
photocopying from magazines or other printed materials.
Also another issue, is that making copies to avoid purchasing the
material prevents proper royalties being paid to the "artists" when
dealing with music.

Wish I had a better recollection of that case, and also some of the "fair
use" doctrine as well.

You can make a copy of your CD/LP/CASS for your own personal use and
call it fair usage. You can not subsequently give it to a friend or
sell it to someone.
The "fair use" ruling I believe you may be referring to might be in
regard to making a parody recording of a song (a la Weird Al), and
even then, it is "appropriate" to secure a mechanical license from the
publisher (via BMI/ASCAP) if you intend to market your parody.

There's (almost) no question that making a copy of copyrighted
material for archival purposes (and then using *either* the copy or
the original) does fall under fair use. My recollection of the case is
that one was permitted to make "mix" tapes and give them (in VERY
small quantities) to friends without being in violation of copyright
law.
But, IANAL, and I haven't made a "mix" tape in many years, so I'm
probably safe... :-)
