Ph>>> Does this mean that Kiss can only play where RIAA says?
AVS>> Not sure.
AVS>> But that means that if they decide to share their music with
AVS>> someone, RIAA won't like that.

Ph> Is that what they do at a concert?
Ph> I know there is usualy a charge at the door though.

I mean, if they record someone a CD-R of their songs, that would most likely be
piracy.

Ph>>> Can a member of "Kiss" play there own music on the inet?
AVS>> I hope RIAA gets nothing from their popularity anymore.

Ph> Me too 

You can hope, but you'd better check it to know for sure.

AVS>>>> What do they think of someone downloading an .ogg (or .mp3, if
AVS>>>> they don't know about OGG) of their song?

Ph> I can see paying the band for "thier" work.
Ph> But I care little about Riaa's "I want I want" 

People everywhere don't care about Microsoft's wishes as long as their Windows
is cracked properly. But that's so much better for Microsoft than if they didn't
use one of the latest version of Windows, pirated or not.

Ph>>> that is a very "Grey" area.
Ph>>> Would they also not like me to record a tape from a radio
Ph>>> station's broadcast? (old fashion air waves)
AVS>> With DMCA, most likely, yes.

Ph> But officer I only wanted a backup of what they gave me. 

Huh! No way. Have you read the EULA?!

Ph>>> Would it also be a Riaa violation to crank on a 400 watt sterio
Ph>>> and share the noise with the city?
AVS>> Most likely, yes. AFAIK, it's so in Russia.

Ph> I think someone would call the police because they did not like Kiss
Ph> an the cops would come and tell me to turn it down.

Same here, I guess.


And now for something a little more radical: read this book, please:

Good luck.
