That would depend on the definition of "is" now, wouldn't it? [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img] 
Yorick, I don't have the time to look at it now, maybe this weekend, but I still get the sense you may be mistaken on Aussie copyright law. I am very dubious that Aussie law prohibits making backup copies or making "mix tapes." I'll try to investigate when I get time. [/QUOTE]I'm afraid that Yorik is quite right in his assertions.
See this quick information guide from the Austrailian Copyright Council:

The laws appear to treat musicians as if they don't need exposure - and music lovers as if they are immoral. Draconian to the extreme. If I was an Austrailian musician of any talent, I think I'd move to the US...
