Is that legal or does the copyright statement in the front of the book make it illegal? (I am sure nobody is going to be arrested but just curious).

Truly a case where the punishment does not fit the crime.

I knew nothing about computers 10 years ago. Then I started working a night shift and bought one to keep me busy on my nights off. Trail and error plus being pals with my companies IT team taught me all I know.

These record companies have cheated and personally destroyed the dreams and ambitions of so many artists in the past on residuals and profits through shady contracts and dishonest agreements. How can they justifiably go after a student? That’s just foul.
