referring to my examples above I'd like to know some things.

Yorick, you stated that copying a song for personal enjoyment is okay as long as no technical copy-equipment is used, i.e. if I listen to the song and play it on my own piano/guitar/...
even recording it after that would be okay

But there's only a thin line from here to there

Projected on copyright for literature this would mean
a. It's okay to copy the thing manually (handwrite, typewriter, word processor)
b. It's not okay to xerox it or copy a computer-file with the information

This is indeed a very thin line [img]graemlins/uhoh2.gif[/img]
