Anyway, if that's your concern just use re-writeable media to burn the CD or DVD. But since optical media is pretty cheap and the likelihood of a problem is pretty low, why bother?
Check out the prices at bestbuy.ca -- there is a fee collected by a consortium run by the recording industry that pretty much doubles the price of blank media in Canada. We are led to believe (like the Queen of Hearts, I am capable of believing impossible things ;-) ) that the fee goes to the artists who actually created the music.
But at least a Canadian Court has ruled that music copying and/or swapping is legal because of this fee if I am not mistaken. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
