About The License Agreement - Roland CD-2 Owner's Manual

Introduction
IMPORTANT NOTES (continued)
Copyright
851
• Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public
performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part,
of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public
performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a
third party is prohibited by law.
(852a)
• This unit is designed for professional use. When using the
CD-R/RW drive to transfer audio signals, this unit can
perform recording without being subject to the restrictions
of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). This is
because the unit is intended solely for musical production,
and is designed not to be subject to restrictions as long as
it is used to record works (such as your own
compositions) that do not infringe on the copyrights of
others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits second-
generation and later copying through a digital connection.
It is built into MD recorders and other consumer digital-
audio equipment as a copyright-protection feature.)
853
• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a
copyright held by a third party. We assume no
responsibility whatsoever with regard to any
infringements of third-party copyrights arising through
your use of this unit.
