Okay. But I've never heard of anyone getting sued (even less convicted)
for copying a CD (or vinyl/tape in the old days). Most convictions I've
heard of tended to concern folks who had SOLD copied material. Which I
think makes a lot more sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if they did :-o Would they have a case in court,
though, that's an entirely different issue.
