A couple of years ago I wanted a copy of the poem "The Finn Who Would Not Sauna" to read to my parents on their 30th wedding anniversary (they are from Northern Michigan and my father's name is Toivo), and someone in their office xeroxed a copy for me. I made a point of mentioning, in my request, that I realized that the material was copyrighted and asked who I would talk to about getting permission to use it. True, they want us to buy their versions of these products. On the other hand, Minnesota Public Radio is (still) a nonprofit organization, and in any case the material does belong to them. If you'd written it, you'd feel the same way. It's already ridiculously easy to pirate the material; all you need is a tape recorder.
