But would Arhoolie or other copyright holders want usage restricted to one user at a time unless a multiple user license were negotiated? I can see how record labels, book publishers and others would be distressed to sell ONE copy of a given work to the to something the size of the_entire_ UC system that was then shared everywhere. >As >long as it is accessible on computer terminals that only allow listening and >do not allow copying of the sound files in any manner (CD burners, email, >etc), what's the problem? Count on at least some of the listening stations being PCs, not "terminals" and therefore easily hacked. <big snip> Enjoying the discussion, Joel Joel Bresler 250 E. Emerson Rd.
