At the local club level they don't even have a clue as to racing Triumphs
anyway. But it might be a video they would checkout and the next time the
VARA/HSR guys are in town they might make a trip out to the track to watch.

Burning a DVD - not a CD. This is not something that "everyone" is capable
of doing. Whereas copying a VHS tape to another VHS tape is simple.

Exactally my point.

I don't disagree, but you are forgetting the main difference. We are not
looking to make mulitple copies of a book or a video. We have a club
library that our club historian maintains that has books and videos for
lending - just like your local municiple library does. If the book or
video is out to one club member another has to wait for it to be returned
before they can use it.

In that example your daughter has violated copywrite but you probably have
not (that is if the original media and the destination media are the same
type, meaning not from vinyl record to CD). Which is why I asked the
question. Being honest to the producer of the video as to what we would
like to do with his permission.
