Yeah, but how does that help *now* ? :-)

You seem to be saying making a "fan" cassette copy is ok but a "fan" CD copy is not. I don't see much difference, both are illegal bootlegs, they're just in different formats. Assuming I'm interpreting correctly what you meant correctly, if someone wants to make 20 cassette copies (or even *one* cassette copy) of Caustic Window ep's for 20 idm friends how is that any different than making 20 Cd copies? I'm not siding with one side over the other here, but this seems incongruent. I recognize both sides of the issue but I sort of wonder how anti-bootleg people deal with the issue of cassette copies for friends. Do you never make cassettes? On a related note: Alan, I'm still looking for: B12 - prelude pt 1 CD, Philosophy of Sound and machine CD, Applied Rhythmic Technology CD will pay *at least* $30 each...maybe more. You said most all rare stuff is available (at places like Modern music)...are my wants available *anywhere*? If so please drop me a line...ANYBODY please drop me a line. Respects, Tony
