Re: cording and selling DVDs of dance recital - music rights

Mark, you are absolutely correct on everything you said here. Perhaps the chicken is me, not you. I don't want to bother with writting letters that do no good. On the other hands, you see many many millions of people break this so called "copyright law" and how many cases got reinforced? especially in a personal or even small business level. Yes, everything is down to the risk and your personal conviction, however, if enough people breaks the law and no one is able to really enforce it, do you think the big company care? If they care enough, they should change their practice and provide a mechanism for the common public. I always wonder if someone want to be the middle man for the average consumer and the big companies, I bet they can make lots of $$$$$ by doing so. The revenue these companies lost to the so called copyright law-breakers are significant. I believe many want to do the right thing, but the world is not providing us a mechanism. Again this is my personal opinion only. Thanks for sharing yours.
