i'm not trying to stoke the fire man, i'm just sick of the scare tactics, format shifting licence is from aria not ppca, it covers you converting legitematley purchased cd's/lp's being converted into digital files. ppca are a broadcasting licence. in this digital age everyone is or knows someone that is a dj or vj, what's the easiest way to keep these people in their bedrooms or at friends parties, tell them that they have to get all these different licences and part with a thousand or more dollars just to play music. once again not stoking the fire, not having a go, just really sick of the misinformation or the missinterperation of information
