<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 668173, member: 39&quot;]Seems the laws about copyright and fair use are different in different countries. Here in Germany for example, private copies are basically legal, provided certain conditions are met. This also includes giving a physical or digital copy to a friend. On the other hand, the manufacturers of many devices (scanner, printer, DVD burner, storage media, etc.) therefore have to pay a certain fee per device to an organization of copyright holders. The legal situation is very complex, and I am absolutely not a law expert. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>As for downloading files from such a file sharing service, you may do that - for your private use. What you cannot do is download a file and then distribute it without specific permission. Also, if the material you download was obviously an illegal upload, then downloading it is against the law. And the latter would sure apply to an entire SCWC volume. Again, all that applies to Germany; no idea how it works in the US or Canada.</p><p><br /></p><p>@jaceravone: Thanks for checking again! Will see if I can get that 3-disk pack somewhere ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
