This enables them to use protected music for *non-profit* promotions and stuff like that (i.e. new stories, news promos, show promos). Lance ------------------------------ From: CL Miller Subject: My say Hey there kiddies. . . My own input into the bootlegger/taper/pondscum/non-pondscum controversy is, and I quote. . . If music has a copywrite, then technically, it is illegal to copy it FOR ANY REASON. Duh. (of course, just as in any legal document, there are probably infinitessimal loopholes) However, I have been told by authorities in the video business that if you are copying a videotape for PERSONAL use and are not selling it at a profit, there is nothing wrong with that. Of course, the video industry as a whole would not accept this as their official stance. Just ask your local videostores for a copy of Video Business or Video Store magazines. There are listings in every issue of hundreds of video stores and individuals busted for illegal pirating of copywrited material. But, are these video stores doing it because they don't have access to the materials for their own enjoyment? No! Most, if not all, are doing it to sell them at a profit! The point is (and there is one) that if you are copying a tape at no PROFIT to yourself, then there should be no restrictions or ethical implications involved. A tape trader's page would be a fantastic idea, but certain guidelines should be set up. For instance, a maximum cost should be assessed per tape to avoid overpricing (or underpricing). If you generalize costs for everyone, then it is more difficult for someone who is only doing it to make money to do so. Love you all! Chris - -- Thank you for allowing me to babble incessantly!

I've seen alot of people talk about the article about Chris Cornell, his car, his dogs, and the writer with him. Why isn't this article on Seth's page? I've looked for it. May Soundgarden be with you. Rebekah ------------------------------ From: lecocke@txdirect.net Subject: Lorraine and Chris' car Woops. I remember when this came up a few weeks ago, and I told someone that Chris has a "gleaming silver Porshe Targa" from '78 (my very own birth year). Well, I lied. See, he had that during the summer, I assume, because that quotation about the Porshe came from Spin '96, but the Wise OLD (23, baby!) Shroomus informed little me that Chris now drives a MUSTANG!!!!!!! (for me, that's a yuck-I dated a guy with a Mustang, so the memories are irritating.) Anyway, he has one, Susan has one. Shroomy and I bet our lives, well maybe not our LIVES because we're sticking around for that cloning thing to happen), but I'll bet Mariah Carey's life that his Mustang is black. :) Later, Margret ------------------------------ From: JesusCPose@aol.com Subject: 90 I was also wondering what the business with the 90 is. I have combed through most of Seth's site but have not found anything on this matter. All I know is that Kim is wearing a 90 shirt in the FOBD video. Could it have something to do with Andy Wood's death in 1990? Jesus ------------------------------ From: Deborah Baker Subject: Chris' silver porsche >Thanx to Rachel & Rebekah for pointing out that Chris *does* drive >a Porsche. :) I heard from Soundgarden's most 'respectable' fan that Chris sold the Porsche sometime last year (probably thanks to the number of hootchies causing traffic accidents by leaping manically in front of every silver Porsche on the West Seattle Freeway ;-)!)Now he drives a Mustang. But so does Susan , so don't go throwing yourselves in front of the wrong one :-) UkDeb ------------------------------ From: caryn rose Subject: Re: 90 At 05:15 PM 3/8/97 -0500, JesusCPose@aol.com wrote: > I was also wondering what the business with the 90 is.

Y'know somethin'...she's right. I found this a bit hard to believe myself, since that magazine - being Spin - was EVERYWHERE and I thought somebody must have typed it up. But, I looked, and it wasn't there. Did ya'll need someone to type it up or something...? I checked out Shroom's compilation of "You know you're obsessed..." lines. Well folks, it's official...
