More to the point, no-one's going to bother pursuing the matter legally if
the tapes are simply being copied and exchanged among a small handful of
people. 

I regularly tape all 15 days in English to send to my Mom in the States
(although I am notoriously inconsistent in getting every day). My mom
routinely dubs tapes and might be interested in redistributing, but they
would arrive about a month late and who knows what the quality of the
dubbing would be like. 

In any case, I would be interested in setting up some sort of informal
network to exchange such tapes and would contribute as I could. Perhaps we
could get a list of all those willing to dub, and establish a standard
price for compensation per tape, etc. 

I'd also like to thank all those who responded earlier to my request for a
copy of Day 1 of the Nagoya basho.
