Actually, in the US you ARE allowed to make personal copies of your
CD's and tapes under rules which were adopted in the (I think - not
totally sure of the date) early 1980's. This is considered "fair use", as
is copying for research, academic reasons, etc. Unfortunately it no
longer applies if the media is encripted. Hopefully that law will eventually
get overturned.
