It's also illegal to keep a recording of a tv show longer then you have to to have had watched it once.

It's illegal to photocopy a page from a published book with consent from the publisher.

It's illegal to play a legitamatily purchased copy of a movie or music in public, for others to see, or hear.(ie. you work in a store or resturant and you pop in a cd for some background music = illegal, unless you purchased a license for that song.)

It's illegal to put on the internet guitar tabs that you made yourself of a real song off the radio.

It's illegal to speed. which we all do and the above is other examples of how annoying laws could be. We call downloading a song illegal and "stealing" but we don't call it stealing when a resturant plays that purchased song. Just because they have it doesn't mean they own the right to use it in any fashion, we've been entrusted to use it only to the means in which our limited license allows us too, which quite often makes these industries seem petty and is in essence encouraging the illegal activity on the net today.


 Is that for the US, or are those laws the same for the UK/EU.
