I have a friend who lives in the Boston area,an area in which many of the suburban towns have basically merged their individual library systems into one huge one.As a result,any resident of any of these towns has borrowing access to every item in the entire system.Over times he made exact copies,as one can easily do with Windows and a CD burner) of about 5,000 songs found on various CDs he borrowed.Didn't pay a cent in royalties.Just the cost of the blank CDs,which hold about 20-25 songs each.A huge music collection containing *only* songs he likes and “Hollywood” didn't get a nickel from him.

I have 3 library cards,covering Boston and the Minuteman and Old Colony library networks. This covers a fairly sizeable portion of Eastern MA.
