that is utter, unadulterated bullshit. ripping music onto your computer isn't in and of itself illegal, it's when you distribute the music that it becomes illegal. sure, if you share the files with anyone, that's a violation, but if you buy a CD, you are allowed to use it on any player you want, which means you have to rip the CD. anyway, my father is well-versed in copyright law, and he lets me rip CDs. you'd have thought he'd have told me it was illegal.

- It's 'Illegal' to Rip Your Own CDs to Your Own Computer
Ha ha, that's so sad it hurts...
What, so I'm expected to switch CDs every few minutes when I want a different track, and resort to lugging around £200 and 10lb of CDs and electronics and risk having it stolen?
Fuck that. Piracy FTW; MP3s ripped to comp and running on two players.
Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, you are a pirate!

As long as you don't share the music, I think you'd be fine.
It's called fair use.

Ok listen you computer geniuses. Do you want to argue semantics or admit stealing is wrong?
I would bet that 99% of the people who actually do the work and develop the software/games/music dont give 2 shits about piracy. Its only the industries that care about that, the people that dont do shit all and get more money than the people who are actually doing the work. If the industries want to label even ripping music to your computer as stealing then fuck it. I wont pay for that shit if theyre so uptight fucked in the ass about it, Ill just download it all.
In Denmark, the law of the country where you live is the one that applies (not if you ask the record companies though) (but for real it is) (!)
And we are allowed to make all the copies we want as long as they are to ourselves only and we have payed for the original from a licenced distributor
American record companies are like Apple... they sew people for the most retareded reasons and they think they can make their own laws...
