I know a long time ago I saw thread which posted all of the taper-related laws for pretty much all 50 states but now I've run several searches and I can't seem to find it-- anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
This one?

We remember stuff from long ago, it's recalling what happened yesterday that we have trouble with.

"Vermont and Texas don't appear to have anything having to do with piracy or recordings at all."
Ok people, what are your assumptions about recording if there are no laws about it?

No laws? If that's really the case then I would guess that it means there are no laws against it!?
If there are no state laws against it, then federal laws no doubt apply. Which is not good, since:
Quoterecording and trading without the artist's consent is a violation of Federal law and brings with it the penalties that come from copyright infringement (actual damages and profits, or statutory damages between $200 and $150,000 plus possible additional damages as well as legal/court fees).

I'm not that old but I thought today was Tuesday. I was very happy to learn it was WEDNESDAY!!!
why? If you don't mind my asking. Are you in trouble?
I always thought that under the Fair Use Act, while the artist owns the rights to the songs performed on your recording, the taper actually has the rights to the actual recording.
For instance, if an artist appeared on Letterman, CBS still owns the rights to that particular episode of Late Night while the artist and his/her record label and publisher own the rights to the songs performed on that episode of Letterman.
That's the way I always understood it.

Laws are only part of the equation - case histories and precedence are really important too.
