I would like to know your opinion.

Yes, recording episodes for yourself off the radio is legal.

That's just like recording tv shows onto tape or DVD. I don't think that there is anything wrong with it.

We do it all the time! It's not like we sell cd's of recorded AIO.

I have never thought it was right, but maybe it is!

They only say not for public exibition or distribution. If you record it for yourself it's okay.

I tape stuff off the radio quite a bit.

I also used to do that quite a lot and now I tape stuff off the internet instead. Really, I don't see any reason why it would be considered wrong as long as you're not selling it or anything.

Indeed. As long as one records it for personal listening only (and not for distribution), I see no problem with it.

Yes, it is perfectly legal.

And we have discussed this at length before (or maybe that was at the TH)

Is it legal to record stuff off the internet and distribute it for free from person-to-person or on a website when others have the same opportunity to hear it (such as recording today's AIO off of Oneplace and then sending it to someone as a MP3)?

Hm, that's an interesting question. I see your point.

It might be to distribute them, but I wouldn't if I were you.

I have recorded a lot of episodes off the radio. It's fine if you just listen to them yourself and don't sell them.

Erm well we've recorded stuff off the radio before, right or not.

That all depends on the liscense under which they are released. In the case of AIO, probably not. You can, however, distribute the link to the origional source.

Thank you everybody! I'm glad it's legal. $\:D/$

ummm as long as it's just for your listening. but i think we all agree that focus is doing an amazing thing making this program for us, so maybe if you buy produts directly from them, or send them a donation every once in a while, it may be nice!!

Me · Post by Me » Fri Jul 15, 2005 6:05 pm

I think most of us would agree that it is worth it to buy the albums whenever possible, not only for the higher audio quality, but the additional lines as well. Of course, it's fun to have both versions as well when there are differences in the lines.

I would say yes. But, since I don't get American radio here, I don't have to worry about it, anyway. I just buy all of the albums.
