True, but some Used CD dealers are paying artists out of their own goodness.

But, most are not - and none of the re-sellers I frequent (or have ever frequented) have ever payed royalties on used music. However, in the long run, it usually does an artist good have their music listened to. Better than sitting on a shelf all lonely with no one listening to them.

True. But most of them are paying their BMI and ASCAP dues to play the music in the store, so at least the artists are getting something out of the stores.

Of course, if you have an eclectic collection BMI and ASCAP still leave a lot of artists uncompensated.

Hmmm someday soon I will start that intellectual property thread...

As far as I see it, what I'd like to do is not illegal.

Well, what I'd LIKE to do is find a service that either has the business model of Napster, but with iPod files, which doesn't exist, or one like eMusic with a more complete selection. Also doesn't exist.

But barring that, all I'd like is to do is get music that I purchase legally into a form that is useable to me. Just as it's never been illegal to create copies of casettes or CDs for personal use, or to record a television show to watch later (see Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios). Of course, the same process can be used towards illegal purposes (namely distributing music to other people, either for free or for charge), but that certainly is not my intention.

Thanks for the virtuosa tip, I'll check it out.

Good to know that I should uninstall Limewire.

Why not get something like this and plug it into your stereo and iPod. They make them with a usb end to be plugged into the TiVo and iPod.

I have the first and run my iPod or computer through my stereo.
