I think cd copying is ok, so long as it is very small scale, as you say. I used to trade with guy, but this was only like 5 or 6. This I have no problem with. It's the buggers that go and do multiple copies for their friends. I got one Katatonia cd burned, I have bought 12 albums as a direct result of that one, there are another 5 or 6 I want, and I'll continue to support the bands related (Katatonia, October Tide, Diabolical Masquerade, Bloodbath, Opeth). However, I'm probably more principaled than most, being a musician myself. The big problem is the internet stuff, it's a great concept, but it's just too large scale to work. (I actually had a debate in a job interview with the guy that advises our coutrys minister for whatever it's called that deals with all this (it was a computer job)- I won too (he was in favour of it). Didn't get the job....). I'll burn to expose people to new stuff if I know they wouldn't buy it anyway, but I have rather strict limits on it, and it's a very occassional thing.
