  Another heirarchical DB question
 
Hi: First thanks to Christopher, Steve and Larry for your help with my last question. Here's todays question. Say that you had a list of data that needed to be not only in heirarchical order but also each child of a given parent needed to be in a (...) (24 years ago, 20-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Not because they had copies (that's fair use under the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992, United States Code, Title 17, section 1008), but because they *distributed* copies for which they had no license (17 USC s. 1103). Chris FUT: (...) (24 years ago, 20-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Arrggh!
 
(...) But there's *exactly* no difference. If I make an MP3 of a track from my own CD, it'll be exactly completely the same as one I download from the internet (assuming the same software and options used to create it). If the law doesn't recognize (...) (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Arrggh!
 
(...) Because in one case it's deemed fair use; in the other you're republishing the work. But I don't claim to understand the legal intricacies to really be able to explain this intelligently. However, since MP3.com was sued for this exact same (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Arrggh!
 
(...) Why would it be illegal to download an MP3 version of a CD you own, yet be legal to rip your own? I mean, the whole point of digital media is that two copies are exactly identical.... (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Arrggh!
 
(...) You can always encode the MP3's from your own CD's. You'd need somewhere like 80 CDs to get 10 GB og .mp3-files, though. But that number depends heavily on the bitrate you choose when encoding, as well as the running lenght of your CDs! (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Arrggh!
 
(...) Download? For most of the MP3s that I want, that would be illegal. So instead I rip my own -- now I can stream MP3s to work from home without people stealing my CDs any more. :) Not to mention how much easier it is to create playlists... Chris (...)

(...) Netscape 6 includes a mail client and all the stuff Communicator does. You can also install them in parallel with no problem. I really recommend getting a nightly mozilla build from (URL) instead of the "official" version. (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Netscape 6
 
Question: I'm running Communicator 4.75 or something. Can I download navigator 6, and "integrate" it in Communicator? Or maybe they have Communicator 5 too? --Tobias (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Arrggh!
 
How do you get *10 GB's* of MP3's? Doesnt that take *years* to download? Or maybe you're running DSL/Cable/ISDN/whatever? --Tobias, who only has about 300 MB of MP3's... Then again, the iBook harddrive isn't big... (...) (24 years ago, 18-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
