I find this whole area of discussion so interesting and yet don't quite know what to make of it. In the end, it's the legal system trying to keep up with technology and, of course, in the end technology will win..I mean, what's the purpose of mankind creating all these accessible technologies if we don't use them?
I don't know exactly how this will work, but I can imagine a future where musicians aren't making their money from sales, because there won't be any. I understand the legal/moral concerns...but you can not stop technological progress and many of your "average every day people" have music & video duplicating ability now. It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds in the years to come.
Having said that, I agree with some earlier posts that it seems like it certainly OUGHT to be ok to trade and sell CDrs of LPs that are not commercially available...damn the folks who are holding the copyright and not UTILIZING the material!
