Really-From: mcrware!jejones@uunet.uu.net (James Jones) In article <8906220152.AA01764@GAFFA.MIT.EDU> you write: >Really-From: Doug Alan <nessus@athena.mit.edu> > >It's a good thing for IED that (as far as |>oug knows) no one has ever >been convicted of violating copyright if there was no intent to >profit. If an article by Calvin Mooers in *Computing Surveys* is correct, someone may have indeed been taken to court and convicted for just such a thing. The case cited was one in which a church choir director made a simplified arrangement of a song for his choir to perform in church, and sent the arrangement in to the publisher. So, while I certainly bear no ill will towards IED (quite the contrary), I'm sort of glad I'm not him at this point. :-) James Jones (who certainly is not a lawyer!)
