Do our own pressed cds

[Jules]

Thats an idea always comes to my mind from time to time, as I like so much the nice pressed boots, with his cover, his silver cds etc etc

I read in some magazines long ago about companies that press cds for you, and it wasn

This is totaly illegal as long as you do not own the copyright on the pressed  content

But when you are doing it for yourself, it

Personally, I don't care about boxes and stuff, I just care about the music these days.

I do care for good quality CDs as I do care for the music like you.
CDRs break apart after 5 or six years!!!

As for the legal question:
As long as MK and PCM say recording and spreading with no fi is OK, I don't see why jbaent's idea be illegal. It's even less of a spreading than via a tracker site or the like!!
AS LONG AS NOONE GETS GREEDY AND TRIES TO SELL THEM...!

the amount i would have to burn...
but for single selected, new recordings of shows, why not?
as long as no selling is involved...

It would be fun - I have dreamed to produced myself my own boots 

But legally speaking making by a plant manufactured CD on which you do not own the rights and thus is involving money is out-law. This is different than producing by yourself your own CDs. Remember the 2008 KTGC t-shirts story.

what about "only costing face value" i mean that the cd's cost only the price of a disc+shipping??

I think [but a lawer could answer better thant me] that this is still breaking the law.

So if you only order 10 copies from the plant to share with selected friends no big deal but if you do more for sure the info will  spread and soon or later will reach PCM.

Video is already banned so no extra provocation is the better thing to do if we don't want to loose the right to record audio.

That's why I consider every TRACKER a bigger problem than any form of discs.
And so does the recording industriy...

DAD is a perfect example that a tracker can be run without being in the focus of the recording industry as long as they stick with some rules such as respecting artist wish on sharing policy of their commercilay unreleased music.
