ability to commit... other "accepted" examples (Score 1)

I find it interesting that music has not been likened to books in this sense - "legally" you cannot make a copy of an entire book, you are supposed to by another copy if you want another copy... "legally" you are not supposed to make color copies of pictures that are copywrited (as in art books, postcards, portrait studio photos)... but if you walk into a copy shop and make the copies yourself, the copy shop isn't held responsible for breaking the law, the copy machine maker isn't held responsible for breaking the law, only the person making the copies could get in trouble (although I have never heard of someone getting nailed for that)...

I realize there is a difference, but just the ideas involved make me think about why Napster is so different than CopyMax, Kinko's, Canon or Xerox...
