I see what Daryl did as analogous to taping a TV show at home for personal use. Remember when that was claimed as copyright infringement? (As I remember, there was a hilarious sketch on the Tonight Show at the time, showing people watching their home-recorded tape and the SWAT teams bursting in with guns blaring as if it were a raid on a massive illegal operation.) Hopefully we will have something like the "Betamax case" that will allow people to do that kind of thing without being considered "criminals."
