I'd be interested to hear when a person was last prosecuted for recording live radio (or TV for that matter).
Home taping has not killed music, and I doubt downloading will.
For the record, I buy most of my music. I download the occasional track, but when the band's good, I get the cd. If anything, getting an mp3 player (which I transferred 100 cds (all bought) and perhaps 50 downloaded songs onto) revived my interest in music. Now if only the record companies would abandon their obsession with mind-numbing rubbish, there would be something to buy...
