"Pirating" Music

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   OED's "pirating" has a gap from 1884 to 1968.  This is an interesting cite.
   From the NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE, 31 January 1952, pg. 27, col. 6:

_Armstrong, Columbia Records_
_Accuse Firm of "Pirating" Disks_

_First Such Action Charges Re-recordings Are Sold_
   _With Trumpeter's Name and Picture_
By Joseph Kaselow
   In what was described as the first major court action to stop the widespread "pirating" of phonograph records, Columbia Records, Inc., and Louis Armstrong, the trumpeter and band leader, have filed a complaint in the New York Supreme Court directed against Paradox Industries, Inc., and its president Dante Bolletino, who issue records under the Jolly Roger label.
