Try http://www.needledoctor.com in Minneapolis, 800.229.0644, email
info@needledoctor.com. They specialize in styluses but stock all kinds of
supplies for older audio equipment. Hope this helps, Brian. You'll pay full
price. And you'll probably need to talk with them to get your belt. If they
don't stock it, they can probably recommend an alternative. Mimi

Money has nothing to do with whether copyright is involved. You can violate copyright even you don't distribute it in any way (such as photocopying a book in the library or taping an album owned by a friend). It will however bear on any damages or remedies.

Not long ago I was in a local used record store. Found an LP I had been
searching for, but when I pulled out the album to inspect it I had a similar
experience. Same artist and label, but different album.
Being a nice guy I pointed this out to the owner, and suggested that he
should pull it from the shelf, and hold onto it as he might come across the
correct cover. He thanked me.
Next time I went in the record was back on the shelf. I checked it and sure
enough it still had the wrong LP inside. I guess he was hoping someone less
observant than me would buy it by mistake.

I'm not aware of any infringement in taping an album YOU own, then
trading that tape with a friend who has taped an album of THEIR own.
And although I understand what you are referring to with photocopying
books in libraries, etc., money *is* an issue where music copying is
concerned for the reason that there are license fees to be paid when it's
something that's done publicly (not privately).
The whole thing is a can of worms mess! And there are already more
lawsuits than all of the courts can handle on this issue.
Here's a link site that'll keep all y'all into Intellectual Property
busy for a while.
From the WIPO (world Internet Property Site) site, we learn:
Copyright protection generally means that certain uses of the work are lawful only if
they are done with the authorization of the owner of the copyright. The most typical are
the following: the right to copy or otherwise reproduce any kind of work; the right to
distribute copies to the public; the right to rent copies of at least certain categories of
works (such as computer programs and audiovisual works); the right to make sound
recordings of the performances of literary and musical works; the right to perform in
public, particularly musical, dramatic or audiovisual works; the right to communicate to
the public by cable or otherwise the performances of such works and, particularly, to
broadcast, by radio, television or other wireless means, any kind of work; the right to
translate literary works; the right to rent, particularly, audiovisual works, works
embodied in phonograms and computer programs; the right to adapt any kind of work
and particularly the right to make audiovisual works thereof.
Under some national laws, some of these rights-which together are referred to as
"economic rights"-are not exclusive rights of authorization but, in certain specific cases,
merely rights to remuneration; such is the case, in certain countries and under certain
circumstances, for the right to make sound recordings of musical works and the right to
broadcast any kinds of works. Some strictly determined uses (for example, quotations,
the use of works by way of illustration for teaching, or the use of articles on political or
economic matters in other newspapers) are completely free, that is, they require neither
the authorization of, nor remuneration for, the owner of the copyright.
In addition to economic rights, authors (whether or not they own the economic rights)
enjoy "moral rights" on the basis of which authors have the right to claim their authorship
and require that their names be indicated on the copies of the work and in connection
with other uses thereof, and they have the right to oppose the mutilation or deformation
of their works.
The owner of copyright may generally transfer his right or may license certain uses of
his work. Moral rights are, however, generally inalienable although their exercise may
be waived by the author.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I thought the liner notes for the Astro
Sounds reissue CD said that the bonus tracks were just tracks they recorded
at the time and couldn't fit on the original LP. I don't think the bonus
tracks, which I think are much better than the original tracks, are on any LP.
As you know, there are strange and even moogy tracks hiding on a bunch of
their LP's. I discovered one the other day on a record of theirs I'd had
for years. "Flameout" on Golden Oldies Volume 3.
What makes you think the bonus tracks come from an original LP somewhere?

I've never heard of this being tested in court but it seems likely that this would be held as an infringement. Before the Home Recordings Act this would have been a clear infringement but since that act allows for consumers to make a copy for personal use then you might argue that this swap with a friend is the same as a transfer of the original albums which is of course completely non-infringing (it's the copying that causes the problems). I don't see how that argument could hold up since it clearly goes against the intent of the Act but you never know.

There are no moral rights in US copyright (this was from a Hong Kong website).

i have this LP that has odd stains that could well be the source of quite

plain distilled water
distilled water + mild dishwasher soap
Nitty Gritty Pure 2
DiscWasher D4
Disco Antistat (probably the same mixture as the 2 previous ones)
isopropyl alcohol
any suggestions for other safe cleaning products i could use?
thanx!

*Generally* speaking, in this digital era, pro-grade equipment is not saddled with copy-protection schemes. Or it lets you control the copy protection "flags" (off, 1 copy allowed, no copies allowed, etc). Pro gear *should* also have better Analog/Digital/Analog conversion sections, which would indeed make for better sound. And the tradition of beefier construction for pro gear should also hold true.
