Re: [F_minor] Complete set of Sony VHS Glenn Gould Collection

[Charles McElwain <charlesmcelwain1@verizon.net>]

Well, copyright law, for one thing...  The music and video industry 
actively, and juridically, harasses any and all on whom they can try 
to pin "piracy" charges.  There certainly would be a danger doing 
that kind of conversion "commercially", as a free-lancer.  And 
getting Sony to surrender the DVD rights would probably be more than 
difficult.

I don't want to start a debate about that here, although I must admit 
it would be entertaining to see news of Glenn Gould appearing in 
these lawsuits, instead of the typical "top 40's" (to draw a 
connection to the *other* discussion here, about Gould's diminishing 
presence).
