James, Chang, and Sixta are roommates. They are music fans and frequently listen to the same artists and songs. They regularly exchange MP3 music files that contain songs from their favorite artists.
(a) One group of students will decide whether the fact that the roommates are transferring files among themselves for no monetary benefit precludes them from being subject to copyright law.
(b) The second group will consider an additional fact. Each roommate regularly buys CDs and rips them to his or her hard drive. Then the roommate gives the CDs to the other roommates to do the same.
