Which is cool
Still funny that it is illegal to rip your discs still, when you just think out load and say it

Ive allways felt that copy to sell is wrong but otherwise you bought it, it is yours.

I agree with Bear, copying for your own use (that is, not distributing to others) is one of those things that is technically illegal but extremely unlikely to be prosecuted. Theres just no way the record industry could word that lawsuit which doesnt flat out say "Hello, were a bunch of money grabbing bar stewards out to take you for all you have"

The othe rbit I think will cover if you use a bit of music for a wedding video or school thing etc, remember that women who download nursery rhymes for something and not the original songs for background music, I think it will be allowed with a crap load of restrictions mind of course which is fine.
