| For Crying out loud! If you Tivo or record something for your own personal view it is NOT illegal. If you have friends over to watch with you it is NOT illegal. If you take a recording to a friends house to play it on his machine it's NOT illegal. If you make a copy of the material and give it to a friend then that IS illegal.
I build my MP3 library every day for free. I have DirecTV.and get about 30 music channels with my service. Plug a VCR in to the audio outs of the satellite receiver, pop in an eight hour taoe and record music all day long from your favorite music channel. Come home, plug the VCR in to your Sound card and se a shareware audio editing program like Audacity to go through the tape and record any songs you want. Save them as an MP3 and it's perfectly legal. then do it again the next day. I get about 4 songs I like every day. I do the same damn thing with my DirecTV DVR. Record shows I like and then sit there watching them while connected to my DVD recorder. I press pause on the DVD remote when they fade to commercial and start again when they fade back in to the program. Only problem is, most damn chanels now are advertising service and up coming shows at the bottom of the screen. Very annoying but still watchable. And it's FREE! |
