@NatCh: cheap shot, my friend. Lawyers are like politicians: they take the abuse for the fact they we give them power in order to have convenience. Not all are bad, and some do good work.
da_jane: I was loathe to use "analog" & "digital," but for the sake of space I used those terms.
I think a stumbling block here is semantics. Another is the fact that none of us are copyright lawyers or judges.
Personal copying seems to be a gray area in the legal definition of "Fair use," yet another area where law has not kept pace with technology. Now, those with a vested interest in one model (i.e. RIAA, publishers) have employed politicians & lawyers to secure their rights and desires. We have not. I haven't. Save ranting to you people. ;-/
