One of the areas where I hang electrons, and occasional works for publication, (yes, I do that) is a Music "Forum" where musicians and fans hang out, This includes composers and authors(Technically I fit there since I have a couple of postings on the songs archive) Fans (my primary mode) and artists (Do a bit of that too). The result is that copyright ad copying is heavily discussed there.
Recently (Seems like the last decade but may have been a bit longer) they came out with something called the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
This made major changes in the rights of we the consumers to copy stuff.
one of the things that really bothers me under this act is the automatic inclusion of DRM (Digital Rights Management) codes on recordings.
So. I write a song (Wade in the Menus) I (with a bit of help from Juanita Coulson since it has 2 parts) Perform the song.. My Recorder sits on the far side of the room (There is a reason you want it FAR from Junita but that's a funny story for another time)
I CAN NOT MAKE COPIES OF THE RECORDING!!!!!
I will not tell you my opinion of that,, I have no desire to melt your monitor.
