I'm going to be buying a spindle of 100 blank CDs and copying all kinds of old crap onto them. It'll be mostly Hapa Haole, some Exotica and a little traditional Hawaiian and Tahitian music. I'll probably do a couple of "Mix" compilation CDs and a few containing entire albums that I've gotten at thrift stores, flea markets and trash piles over the years.
Although I can't be completely sure of the copyright status on all of it, I do know that it was all recorded from out-of-print records that are not readily available and are impossible to play in any CD player. Most of it will be stuff I've burned myself, but I'm sure some will be stuff that I've downloaded from Sharity sites that adhere to the same "out of print only" principle. That being the case, there may be copies of songs by Denny or Baxter, but they will be burned from the original vinyl and not the remastered Ultra-Lounge CDs.

If that is a standard that is not acceptable I'd appreciate being told what, specifically, is. I think we can put together a pretty huge pile of great music without breaking any laws.
