   Actually, none of it can be freely distributed.  If you look at the
bottom of the back jewel case insert in every CD you own, you should see
something to the effect of:

   "Unauthorized duplication is a violation of applicable laws"
   "Unauthorized reproduction of this recording is prohibited by Federal
law and subject to criminal prosecution"
   "Unauthorized reproduction, copying, lending, hiring, public performance
and broadcasting prohibited"

   US copyright law is somewhat lax in that you are permitted to make a
single copy of any media you personally own for archival purposes (read:
mixing tapes, backing up floppies) but the act of distributing copyrighted
material is of course unlawful, whether you charge for it or not.

So I can convert them to some other format, but I have to leave them on
my computer, is that correct??
OK one other question, a while back I had come across a midi site on the
net and they had theme songs from a bunch of movies and TV shows and
also musicians(-the vocals), wouldn't this be illegal then. And what about
having DoTF on a website, wouldn't that also be illegal. I just want to know
what the difference is.
Thank you.

   Of course, if you want to distribute some LEGOs my way, that's
completely legal under US copyright law.

Nice try, but you've probably got more than me anyway :)
