In article <752@palladium.UUCP>, rsilvers@palladium.UUCP (rsilvers) says: > The Sony-Betamax case won in court. It allows you to make a single >copy of any copywrited material for your own use. I do not think this >should be ignored in the DAT issue. I am tired of advancing technology >being crippled. Actually, over here in Finland, the copyright laws have always permitted unlimited copies of copyrighted material FOR PERSONAL USE. I have always assumed it was based on international agreements ? I recently read that the DAT manufacturers and the audio companies had finally reached an agreement on making DATs which allow copying of CDs. The catch was, the DAT was supposed to make only one copy of each CD. Does anyone have any idea how a silly restriction like this would be enforced ? Putting huge NV-RAMs inside DATs or something ? This would also seem easily defeatable... Otto J.
