Imported records under attack -- again

[Ken Josenhans <13020KRJ@MSU>]

     Unpatriotic scum who wish to purchase recordings manufactured
anywhere but in the good ol' U.S.A. might want to read the article
"Imports Under Fire" on page 16 of the 07/02 ROLLING STONE.
Excerpts from the article are posted in rec.music.misc and rec.music.folk
under an identical title line, with message-ID <1541@msudoc.UUCP>.

     In brief, a recent court ruling requires record importers to
get clearance from the copyright holder of each song on an album
before importing it.  I expect this ruling to make yet another drastic
cut in the record importing business, following on the cuts triggered
by the recent "parallel imports" decision.
