Most fortunate from my perspective. Yet, I wonder, who has responsibility in that instance. For example, I bought the Naxos issue of the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra with Koussevitzky conducting by purchasing it at Amazon.uk I had it mailed to me. Strictly speaking, was I breaking the law by ordering it, or was Amazon breaking the law by sending it to me. Karl
