Well, 'cos I thought it might be illegal - like scanning copies of Tolkien's works into word files & stuff, so even though we have a DVD recorder connected up to our vhs recorder & I could just copy it over, I swear if its not legal I never done it.

Of course, if Bb is correct then I may do it - but if its not legal to do it & I did do it, it was because Bb told me it was ok, & I can't be held responsible & I think Bb should be arrested for corrupting an innocent Tolkien fan & have the book thrown at her.

I definitely did not do it one Sunday afternoon 2 months ago - unless it is legal to have done it, in which case....

Hope that clears things up.
