when i was 12 (61 years ago) i bought a 10 inch real to real recorder.  first play on every record or tape i bought my whole life went on those tapes.  a bit over 10 years ago i bought a recording program (Sony Sound Forge STUDIO)  I recorded all those tapes on my computer and transferred them to my phone to listen to away from  home.  it is my understanding that is legal to do as long as i do not let anyone else have them.   I do keep the computer files backed up for i have a lot of time involved since there are a bit over 1,900 individual songs and a bit over 14 gigabytes of files.   it would take too many CD's to hold them so i use remote hard drives and carbonite.  it is almost impossible to find good original music from the late 50's to mid 70's.  i have blue-toothed my phone to my car radio and drove from Oklahoma to Vancouver BC and not hear the same song twice.

 

edited to add that i am listening to B J Thomas's Hooked on a Feeling while writing this...

 

What is carbonite?

carbonite is a computer online backup.  my computer automatically backs up my data and stores it on their mainframe and if my computer or hard drive crashes they have all my files safely backed up.

I own Christian music on cassette tapes.    Under fair use, I know that I can make a back up on cd for personal use only.   None of the cds or tapes will be given to anyone else or in any way sold to anyone.    How do I go about making a back up cd?

Thanks,


Daniel

Hi Dan, 

Yeah, it's a very grey area of where lines get drawn on copyright infringement laws. You see, as a former employee of the State Department of Education, being an analog audio/visual tech and multi-media specialist, which also entailed working side by side in the State Library and Curriculum Lab, we had the need for allowable and acceptable duplicates of cassette tapes as both back up for those that became destroyed or damaged and archival purposes.

These were permitted and bypassed the usual "no duplicating" for commercial or private use. That being said, if you do not make copies of materials for the reason of selling them for marketing or profit which is basically bootlegging, I would just be cautious not to be blatant about it. Let me put it in the opinion of the music industry. It's almost expected that people will share tapes with other persons like friends and persons you are acquainted with. To think otherwise would be imagining things. 

God bless, 

Beau

You're right is must be a bad idea.    I will seek out more experts.

At the same time, the law is the law, and obedient Christians, submit to governing authorities. Profit is not the issue. The idea behind copyright is not about whether you are making money by copying, it is about protection the artists, producers, etc. from losing income they might have realized if not for the bootlegging. Plain and simple, if you make a copy and give it away, you have committed intellectual theft and potentially deprived the owner of a sale. This sometimes gets multiplied when copies of copies are made. I encourage (Christians especially) people to obey the laws and make the production of printed material, photos, sound recordings, videos, etc. profitable. Artists and the marketers make money, from hard work, investment and talent, and they deserve it. It they cannot get a return, then less is available to us.
I am afraid that the ease with which material are copied and shared on the internet, has produced a generation which thinks they are entitled to benefit from the work of other, for free!

I take it you've never made a duplicate copy of a cassette and/or video tape. I didn't mention videos, but these were also quite common in the the field of Education and for educational purposes. Just to be perfectly honest here, because that's my thing - HONESTY, I have. Yep. I have. So has everyone I've known personally. I doubt seriously anyone in the federal government of copyright controls would be interested in taking advantage and arresting an old man with less than a thousand dollars in his bank account.

Never? No I have. However, I don't think I have done so in over 10 years, part of my sanctification, I suppose. I download music from youtube IF I already own it. If there is something I want that I do not have, I purchase it. I do not do that often, because I have very littoe disposable income. If I want a CD etc, I buy legitimate used retail items. When there are items in our video section, I have often gone to the publisher to get permission before posting, many times on behalf of other posters. When I teach a class, sometimes I want to reproduce written materials to hand out (like from a commentary for example), if I do, I get permission from the publisher, they do not always allow it, and sometimes they limit the number of copies I can make.

I am not perfect, I am pretty sure that the last time I drove, I might have driven 71 when the sign says the limit is 70. It annoys people when you try to obey the law, because in our flesh, we think we are above the law, I guess!

You are probably right about that, but the employees of the govt, are not who we need to please or concern ourselves with, the authority is in the law itself, and we can obey the law, or disobey God, it is not complicated.
When I disobey the law, I call it what it is, "sin".

Good? I guess? However, I thought you were talking about actual archiving, nothing wrong with that, since it is legal, and not any sort of moral theft!

Should I close the thread then?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
