Absolutely legal - if you're living in Switzerland ;-). We still have the  
law where you're allowed to distribute copies of audio CDs, video and  
printed material to friends and family members for non-commercial usage.  
You're not allowed to offer them for public download or through P2P  
networks though, as you can't control who's downloading the files (there  
have been adjudictions confirming this). Software is another story - while  
it fell under the same law, this was changed in the early 90ies.
