Well, if Napster ever makes it to trial (in RIAA v. Napster -- it
looks like they never will), this is exactly what Boies was going to
argue: ALL non-commercial copying is legal. The RIAA, by putting one
face to the world to represent the interests of all recorded music
copyright holders, is misusing copyright and should have ALL of their
copyrights held indefensible.
Boies had a great legal case, too.
