Public libraries lend CDs out the the public for free. And the public can and does copy these free CDs. I think it would be extremely hard to find lending an item illegal. Ripping the bits and posting on a website for worldwide download would be something different. But lending the physical disk for a temporary home audition?

Morality is another question. Teresa's motives are no doubt noble, she wants to give people a chance to make up their own mind on the sound quality using their own ears and their own equipment.

It is possible that this could cut into the sales. But it could also have the opposite effect. Since reputable listeners have now praised the sound of this disk, it is possible that some considerable percentage of listeners who audition this will also like it and go buy their own copy. The net effect on sales is probably negligible, since this will be circulating by mail and will probably only visit a dozen people anyway.

As for me, I will go get one or all of these this weekend and make up my own mind.
