WTB: Complete Empeg MK2 or Rio Car

You no I was waiting for someone to say somthing. I paid for every cd that was rippid onto my cumputer. What is the prob with me leaving it on the empeg. Is it agianst the law or just your ethics.

Worst spelling ever.

Whenever I hear a song on the radio I send the recording company a dollar. That's why I got an empeg, much cheaper

Wow, I just lost my title. Sad thing is, just like when I read the quotes on my Very Curious Language of GWB calendar, it all seemed right when I first read it.

I'm sure you could outdo that, but you'd have to try.

Well I can not argue with that. I am sure you are all alot smarter than me. Sorry my spelling is so bad. Does this make you a better person than me, I don't no, maybe.

If you intend to also delete all the copies from your computer and provide the orginal CDs along with the empeg, it'd be just fine. Otherwise, it's against the law.

I will delete all the music off of the empegs before I ship them. I was not aware of it being agianst the law. Sorry

Hey -- I don't really care. What I wonder about, though, is why you think it was important to note that you'd purchased all those CDs. I mean, it's not like all the music available on the P2P networks magically appeared out of nowhere. Someone purchased the CDs there, too. (Okay, I suppose it's possible that some had been stolen, but that's beside the point.) Is the difference that you were making only two copies instead of hundreds? Or maybe that it was first-generation, if you will.

I think that there are provisions in the law that allow you to share your music with friends, and that's where Napster found its hole in the law. Since it included a chat program, who's to say that you weren't friends, in that the law didn't define what a friend was. (Or maybe it did -- I could be talking out of my ass.) Of course, that was for analog media. When digital media became available, they made different provisions for it. (Part of which is in the higher price for For-Audio branded blank media.)

Only in your country.. and a few other facist regimes (and the odd "democracy" here and there..).

I couldn't care less if someone was too lazy to delete music on a player that they sold. Leaving the music there as a selling point is crossing the line. If a seller doesn't presume to increase the player's value (and hence the price obtained) by doing so then why tell everyone?

Well to tell you the truth it is fun buying a empeg with music on it. To listen to bands you have never heard of. And one way to do that could be to buy a used empeg and discover what other people listen to. Not because I am trying to save money on music but just to discover some new bands. I do not think 425 dollares for any size empeg is asking to much.

I really doubt I'm a better person than you. Better speller, though, man, I'm so there.

I agree with Thrasher....if it were not for a used cassette deck (remember the 'dark days'?) that someone had left a tape in 'for testing', I would have never discovered that GOOD techno actually existed!

I agree with all of these sentiments. But we don't want the RIAA deciding that this board is a haven for "pirates" and kicking Tom in the balls. Not that I think that's going to happen, but you never know. They sue children, after all.
