> Copying bytes of a track into a buffer for transmission is not the same as storing a complete copy of the track on persistent storage i.e a downloaded copy done as part of an "offline sync." Physically they are the same thing. A buffer could be large enough to hold a complete copy and all storage is persistent to greater or lesser degrees. It sounds like you are claiming if you buffered a small track in a future non-voltile RAM suddenly it's a different license? The legal difference is intent. What can the user do with the copy and does it feel like a copy.
