hi all, just thought this information might interest a few of you: in germany, it is perfectly legal to lend cds. you can go to a cd rental store anywhere and take them home to burn your own. and yes, I've found many a great idm release (including every full-length autechre ever put out) in these stores. costs about $2 for 24 hours. I've often wondered about the legal background of this myself. cheers, --tom
