The tape
| 
Jun 30 12:13 UTC 1994 |
In the past you met a local band at a free concert. You like the
band so much you ask for a copy of a tape they made. After a
year or so the band makes it big. They get on MTv and have #1
hits. You still have the tape. When you met the guys they were
really nice to you and you still keep in contact.
Do you make copies of the tape and sell, do you give copies away
free, or do you just do nothing?

Keep listening to it and consider myself lucky to have such a rare tape
(that I couldn't legally sell, since they would still have the copyright
on it). Maybe I would sell it several years down the road as a rare
artifact of this now classic band's pre fame years, but if they were still
alive I wouldn't do it without asking them first.

was the tape copyrighted, or was it homemade?

Even if it's home made, the copyright belongs to the people who made it.

At least I'm assuming the copyright on music is the same for written
stuff. Anything that's written, even a phone message, is copyrighted by the
person who wrote it unless they give (or sell) that copyright to somebody
else.

I've had this happen, and since I LOVE having something no one else does, I
have only copied it for certain select individuals in exchange for something
equally as rare. Same goes for bootleg concert tapes of already big bands.

If I was good friends with the band, then I would ask them if they would
mind if make a few copies of it for some very close friends. If they
didn't want that they would probably give me some CDs to give away.

I go over to the guys' house, and discuss it with them over bong hits and
quaaludes.

Well, I'd load it into the computer and then burn a nice CD. I'd ask the guys
in the band what they wanted me to do with the tape.

I'd make a backup copy, and then do nothing.

Seeing tapes wear out faster I'd probably ask them if I could get a CD.
