However, is anyone who sells ORIGINAL copies of "1987" on LP and cassette break the law too? Can Abba's lawyers nab you for selling an original "1987" now, with the illegal samples on it? I would think so, since they were ordered to destory all copies including the master tapes, but it really depends. Would be interesting to see the legal decision on this tho. To what degree were they expected to recall copies. Did the courts say "all remaining unsold copies" or was a proper recall advised in which case owners had to turn their copies in?
the original FAQ says "The Mechanical Copyright Protection Society got in touch with the JAMs and ordered the masters and all copies destroyed, and all copies in the shops recalled" and i don't remember ever hearing about owners being asked to return their copies. -- --- "I never, never, never wanted any more Something better change, something better change Don't wanna feel like this Don't wanna work like this We're making life so leavers can't I'm going to be free" - "Hip Hop Metal" - Utah Saints
