hi all,
just thought this information might interest a few of you: in germany, it
is perfectly legal to lend cds. you can go to a cd rental store anywhere
and take them home to burn your own. and yes, I've found many a great idm
release (including every full-length autechre ever put out) in these
stores. costs about $2 for 24 hours. I've often wondered about the legal
background of this myself.
cheers,
