Lil,
I don't want to stretch the issue, but I think you're missing the point.=20
Obviously you can listen to the music.  To copy it and send it to another=
,=20
though, is illegal.  Will that person get caught??  Probably not, but tha=

doesn't make it legal to do.

Regarding using wav or midi files in stationary............if the files a=

in the public domain, there is no problem.  If they are not, they fall un=

the same laws as CD music - you cannot use them legally without paying th=

author the royalty.  The fact that people send them without getting caugh=
t=20
has no bearing on the issue.  That's like saying many people do 75 on the=

freeway in a posted 65 zone, therefore it must be legal to do 75!  Not so=
!
