scratchgolf and I are bouncing an idea of doing a mail exchange for CD's (or hard drives) so that we can hear each other's collections .

This would be pretty innovative like mail art. What do people think of this idea?

From a legal POV, I'd worry about this. Sending this stuff through the public mail probably violates more laws than sharing it online does.

Doing so would constitute a severe violation of every copyright law that exists today.

According to Danish law, a person is allowed to make one copy for private use only. Talk Classical honors and respects all copyright laws of all nations. To share CD's or disk drives in this manner is unlawful.

This forum does not and will not allow support this activity. Thread is closed.
