Re: Ntl...
Video recording is a funny subject. I mean they make video recorders so that you can record from the TV ......... legal or illegal? I've recorded many things from TV because I wasn't going to be here and didn't want to miss them. I have watched them later but then not erased the tape. I've watched them more than once. Is that illegal? I have even lent them to someone else (members of AccyWeb) who hadn't seen the program on TV. Is that legal?
I know what you're saying about peer to peer but if they are sharing something which isn't commercially available is that still illegal? I know the record companies' point of view relates to the loss of royalties when things are pirated and I do understand that point. I was talking to someone yesterday who has made a Michael Jackson tribute website and used some illustrations of the album covers when referring to those albums. Is that wrong from a copyright point of view? She didn't think so because the official MJ website has praised her effort.
