George,
A few questions,
Does the RIAA have a copyright on my MP3 file? Not since last time I
looked. I am not sharing anything that is theirs. If they (RIAA)
distributed MP3 files, and I obtained one or more, and shared it,
perhaps a case would exist.
Are audio CD's digital or not? If so, why then when I rip a CD, I
don't see their copyright in the first 512 characters of the digital
file? (using a hex editor or 'debug')
Do the numbers comprising an MP3 file match those of a digital rip of
a CD so closely a claim can be made of sufficient similarity to be
considered an infringemnet? I think not! They don't match at all !
If an MP3 file can be qualified in court as being sufficiently similar
to the original digital file [sic], then has the RIAA sued the makers
of MP3 players for distributing a device or software capable of
restoring otherwise nonsence numbers back into recognisable sounds
that are perceptually similar to those they own a copyright on? Since
the RIAA would like to believe all MP3's are illegal, they are missing
an income opportunity there.
Just wondering
