Alright, let's keep this a debate, not just stating opinions. that's important.
don't just state your opinion, support it alright. here's some background Copyright law prohibits the copying of Digital audio for commercial use. Copying of audio for personal use is allowed, but only first generation copies may be made (copies of the original) second generation copies are illegal (copies of copies). however, computers allow this, and thus the RIAA has said that using your computer to copy digital audio, no matter first or second gen. copies, is illegal. this was ruled as incorrect and not what the law says by a court. First off, the obvious, is whether or not ripping your CDs to MP3s is illegal also, is downloading music from online illegal? (copyright law only mentions distributing, not taking) and, do new CDs that prevent ripping to MP3s, and DRM (digital rights management) WMAs violate the user right to copy? |
