Sorry if this has been asked a thousand times but i'd really like to get my hands on some Seinfeld VCDs. A trade with a fella in Portgual for a complete set fell through recently and having only a dial-up connection makes it impossible to go the usual PTP route. Does anyone know how a UK fan can start building up a collection? Any help gratefully received.

No offense, cuz i think what youre offerring is great... the whole series on a dvd is a great catch...but to charge 165 for the DVD? Dont you think thats a bit steep? Its like youre charging that because you worked on the show as a producer or something. I know if took u a long time to edit and put it on DVD, but since youre selling copies dont you think something around 35 dollars is fair? Youre free to charge however much you want, but its funny when I see people selling copied music cds, and copied albums on cd-r's at retail price (15-20 dollars), like they were in on the making of the original product.

What he's offering is stolen. It's copyright theft. And illegal.

No. It's copyright infringement. It's not any sort of theft.
It certainly is.

It's theft, theft and theft again.

Of course I have - for viewing later. That is perfectly legal.

I think youll find that its NOT perfectly legal.

ok.. perhaps according to the cut and paste you have provided, in the UK, taping a show from the tv onto a video tape is ok. This whould mean that burning them onto DVD is also ok (suprising). I realise that SELLING the tape/dvd is illegal.

It is legal to burn it to dvd. Even burning a commercial dvd to another dvd is legal as you're allowed to make backups from purchased material for _yourself_.

As I said in my post, I'd be happy to read the cite from which you claim that it is illegal to home-record a TV show to view at a later date, either in the UK or the US.

Wouldn't the cutting and pasting of a copyright law from a website (without getting permission first) be a violation of copyright law.

It's tricky to remember as far back as this thread, but I think you'll find we were discussing UK copyright law, which was why I quoted from FACT's site - your URL refers to the law in Australia.

You should have seen me scratching my head trying to remember where i had the discussion! But from memory the discussion was general, until you quoted from a UK rule.
Looks like were both right.
"Frogiswrong" wrote in message news:bu2uet$d543u$[email]...
Indeed. Interesting that copyright law varies so much, though. What's the US stance on this, anyone?

How many times is the word "Theft" used in that act to describe offences under it? Answer - none
How many times in "infringement" used -- way too many to count, including the section titles of sections 17--21, 22-26 (secondary infringements), and as you've noticed extensively in section 107.
