just wondering which of my old punk tapes would scare the birds most if recycled into bird scarers !

I'd go for anything by Rancid, or Discharge - they always did a good job of scaring the birds for me, though I'm not on about the type with wings!!

Keep 'em - and legally download the same mp3's - your cassette is the proof you paid for the right to listen - the mp3 is only a different medium.

I agree, stash them in the attick and convert to MP3!

I do what Mike does, keep them and legally download the same MP3s, especially those that are no longer playable because they've tightened up, warped, become magnetically altered, broken at the leader, or mangled by a cassette player.

It was never legal to copy tapes, dubbing. The top commercial cassette manufactures as well as CD's are actually legally bound to pay a percentage of each tape/CD-R sold to RIAA, who are "supposed" to divide this amongst it's labels and funnel a royalty back to the artist (yeah right).

Here, read about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Home_Recording_Act
Now ask yourself who benefitted most from Sony buying up everything. Certainly not it's label artists.
