You're probably right.  But I really wonder.  Say we had a bunch of 
folks show up with mp3s and images of the cds and/or lps they ripped 
them from.  Appears to me that that should be perfectly legal as long as 
I provide my mp3 only to folks who can prove they have the cd/lp.

Yeah, it's proving to be a real hassle.
