Back to my original UK query, I appreciate the advice and the hypothetical person would, I am sure, certainly have no wish to be locked up, fined, or even spoken harshly to for anything at all. I do wonder, though, if the authorities would worry about recordings so old we would be talking historical interest here and nothing of a sensitive nature. Also, if the hypothetical person did not reside in the UK or keep the recordings in the UK what do you reckon then? I realise there will be no definitive answer to this until someone actually does something - but I am wondering if there are any known precedents.
