Livin’ La Vida Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| However, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) would probably 
| call me a criminal for encoding my CD library. Their claim is that I don’t 
| own the music I bought on CD, but have only “licensed” it, and thus have no 
| rights to make a copy of the music on my own home file server. This seems a 
| weak argument to me. I’m not selling my CD’s, I’m keeping them safely in a 
| box so I can recover from any deletions or disk failures (although reliably 
| backing up the data comprising my digital life will be the subject for 
| another column). Ironically, since I’ve started this project I’ve spent more 
| money on CD’s than I used to. I’m getting more use and playability from 
| having all my music available online, without having to scramble to find a 
| specific CD for a room.          
| 
| In the same way, I expect Free Software devices will ultimately mean more 
| money spent on software and its development (which for a programmer is very 
| good news), as more devices with diverse functionality become available to 
| everyone living “la Vida Linux”.
