[Dixielandjazz] Copyright

taping (or CDs) of recordings you OWNED was perfectly legal for your own use....

There is no way you could be incorrect.  Your statement of the situation is accurate.  It is true that, strictly speaking, any unauthorised copy is a copy that is not authorised, but if the leap to calling such an act an outright crime is made, there would never, NEVER have been a blank media industry.  Ever.

The claimers otherwise either know this and willingly confess to having committed said crime at some point in their lives, OR (ahem) we have Saints in our midst.  In the event of the latter, I'll be the official DJML Liaison with Rome for canonisation purposes,
