legality of home recording

[Brian MacWhinney]

Folks,
      I don't think this ruling will have any impact on any of the  
materials in either CHILDES or TalkBank. I have listened to perhaps a  
thousand hours of these materials and the only instance of clear use  
of music in the CHILDES and TalkBank materials is in the segment of  
the Dresden SLA corpus that studies how music can support  language  
learning.  Moreover, in these materials, it is the school-aged   
children themselves who are the performers, since they are singing the  
songs.  By the way, they are really great!
