Copyright infringement to put music on a hard drive? That would be a truly draconian interpretation of copyright, and, as far as I know, even the RIAA hasn't tried to claim so (although I wouldn't be surprised if they tried). In any case, this is from their website http://www.riaa.com/issues/ask/default.asp#stand: > > What is your stand on MP3? > > This is one of those urban myths like alligators in the toilet.
