Copyright law applies to her. Contract law binds only to the person the contract was actually made with; he could be sued for violating the contract by giving the music to someone else - the recipients cannot.
Rational libertarians do not believe in copyright law - all of the defenses of variations on copyright that I have seen from "libertarians" are from people who make a living from writing, and are too lazy or stupid to find some other way to make money. That is one reason I quit buying or reading Reason, the magazine for market-worshiping libertinist sub-competents.

BTW, bicycles are often pretty easy to steal. Are bike makers "too lazy or stupid" to find another way of making money? Or should we just find a better way of protecting our bikes?
- kiba 16y agoI would like to add that copyright contracts are possible in a libertarian world. DRM would be alright and violate nothings in libertarian ethics. However, most libertarians, with their understanding of economics, would laugh at such schemes. We wouldn't think that these kind of business models would be successful.
