		hauk1 on July 10, 2013 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Movie Subtitle Fansite Raided By Copyright Industr... Could that argument be applied to the subtitles? If the use was "private" or just among friends. Just as how tabs are used. You are allowed to write it down, and play it. On another note: I still fail to see how the subtitles case is different than transcribing lyrics. They are used the same.

You could probably use a similar argument.

But I'm pretty sure the premise that you're allowed to play a song by someone else 'as often as you want' is incorrect.
