Then we probably need to remind those that post club mixes on SoundCloud or others of the same thing. I know I've downloaded a few from some artists here.
You guys are going to confuse him by using 'IP'....he's talking mixtapes here folks.
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixtape):
Legal issues in the United States
An important distinction between homemade mixes and retail compilations of pop music is that the latter generally obtain permissions for the use of copyrighted songs, while the former do not. As a result, mixtapes, such as those produced and sold by club DJs in the 1970s, are illegal. Most[who?] mixtape enthusiasts assume that private mixtapes are inoffensive from a fair use standpoint, but this is far from clear. Frank Creighton, a director of anti-copyright infringement efforts for the Recording Industry Association of America, was quoted in New York Times as saying that "money did not have to be involved for copying to be illegal."[6] While mixes on cassette tapes may not have inspired the wrath of the record industry in the past, Mr. Creighton said, "digital mixes have better sound quality". And given the proliferation of CD burning for friends and relatives, "it would be naïve of us to say that we should allow that type of activity".
@steve149 -- note my smiley. It was a sarcastic post.
Just wanted to clarify for the unwashed masses.

I'll try to clarify to Mix, if this whacky software will stay stable for a moment...
A mix tape, is simply a combo of other peoples work (unless you wrote the stuff yourself).
IP stands for intellectual property.
If I write a song, I own it -- it's my intellectual property. You cannot use that, unless I give you rights to do so (and those rights will be limited). If you buy my song, that gives YOU the right to listen to it -- nobody else is included. If they want to listen to it, they have to buy it too.
By passing out mixtapes, you are giving away some artists IP.

Sorry Randy, I'll restate that then. "Before you distribute your CD, I suggest you contact a mixtape attorney and get their opinion."
as far as back-ups go...... I have two back up copies of everything I own, cd's, cdg's and mp3's, all stored in seperate locations.
When I work from cd's I use one back up copy and have the second back up with me as a back up. The originals are kept in a safe place. Note: I have not worked from cd's in a very long time.
