2.3.1. General information.
PLEXTALK is designed to help you record and reproduce sound works, to
which you own the copyright, or where you have gained permission from
the copyright owner or the rightful licenser. Unless you own the
copyright or have gained the appropriate permission from the copyright
owner or the rightful licenser, your unauthorized recording, reproduction
or distribution thereof, may result in severe civil and criminal penalties
under copyright laws and international copyright treaties. If you are
uncertain about your rights, contact your legal advisor.
Under no circumstances will Shinano Kenshi be responsible for the
consequences of any illegal copying performed using PLEXTALK.
2.3.2. Digital sound rules.
The PLEXTALK PTR2 conforms to SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)
standards. This standard regulates the recording and copying of digital
signals between digital audio devices, up to 1 generation from the original.
The main principle of the standard is that commercially sold digital music
software, such as CDs, MDs, analogue records, FM broadcasts and the like,
made into digital recordings, can be copied, but copies cannot be made of
those copies.
During digital recording, PLEXTALK constantly verifies the SCMS status,
track by track. Tracks for which digital recording and copying are
prohibited cannot be copied using PLEXTALK.
2.3.3. Music CDs.
Copies of Music CDs are for individual enjoyment and, under the
Copyright Act, cannot be used otherwise, without the authorization of the
copyright holder. Music CD-R or CD-RWs, which are special CDs for music
format recording, contain special codes to identify that additional money
has been paid, as compensation for private recording, with the objective
of protecting music copyrights, in the same manner as devices such as
MDs.
