Oh okay James, that's (good) news to me, not least because it represents
common sense!
I can't recall exactly where I heard/read that a strict interpretation
of copyright law in fact prevents copying, but I think it was a 'good'
source - i.e. a decent news article as opposed to over a pint in a pub!
Anyway, since it is virtually impossible to enforce it's largely a moot
point, but interesting nonetheless.
