At this point I just HAVE to quote the counter-slogan
(one which I *love* :-)  )

Home Taping Is Skill In Music

Flying Saucer Attack, on the spine of their CD "Further" have
the following text running down it :

"Home Taping Is Reinventing Music"

(although I think this applies to their habit of lo-fi recordings in 
the bedroom ! )

And Ninja Tune (God bless 'em !) on the back of Journeyman have a 
little DAT tape and crossbones logo reading

"Tone Taping Is Thrilling Music" (and in teeny letters beneath this 
it says "and it's not illegal ..... YET ! )    ~~~ ahem  ;-)

Yeah, I know ... my husband runs a recording studio and for the
eleven years he's known me, he has not smiled upon my taping habit. 
There ya go ...
