At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon, the burning of cds for
the purpose of anything outside of private and personal use is illegal.
Out of print does not mean out of copyright, and to make a copy, (for
anyone other than yourself) you must gain the permission of the copyright
holder and pay the appropriate fee. I know that "everybody does it" but
as one who has and does make his a part of his living from the sale of
recordings, I must protest, respectfully and politely, but nonetheless
firmly, the offering of such activities on a list such as this one.
Most sincerely,

[No one can make a living on a recording that is out of print.
I'm a big believer in copyrights, and have only a handful of
burned CDs compared to over 7000 purchased. But in the case
where a label, especially a big one, won't keep a recording
in print, then I think it's fair game for private copying.
It simply makes no sense to thump on the copyright bible
when there's no other way to get the recording. -Dave]
