Actually, you've got it easy in the US. Here in there UK there are no provisions for "fair use" and copying original material in any form is considered illegal. This includes copying a CD to cassette to listen in the car, and certainly precludes ripping CDs onto hard drives. That's the "official" position, anyway. I don't think anyone's yet been prosecuted for taping CDs or ripping them for their own personal use.
