See, the British Phonographic Industry isn’t so behind the times as everyone thought. They have very generously announced that we are now allowed to listen to tracks from our own CDs on MP3 players. I predict that this unprecedented and generous move will cause excitement all over the country as people are finally able to rip their CD collections into iTunes. I am now waiting breathlessly for an announcement permitting people to listen to music while other people are present, at a small party, say, or in a motor vehicle carrying passengers.

are we allowed to make tapes?
As you very well know, exmonkey, and as the Music Business told us twenty years ago, if you make tapes the entire music industry will be destroyed. Luckily the campaign was a success, everyone stopped taping and thus EMI, for example, was able to make a profit of ninety million pounds last year.
