I am one of those tender consciouses that tries to tow the line if I can. So, I was wondering, are the laws for music recorded on CD basically such that you can ONLY rip CDs that YOU paid for? I am referring to American laws...
For example: 1. CDs your friends or family paid for are illegal for you to rip even with their permission ? 2. What about Public Library holdings that you can check out? That seems like it might be a gray area as you own it just as much as anyone else does. The Public Library as proxy for the Goverment maintains it for all of us. Just wondering... does anyone know the answers to these? It is a shame to have to care. The greedy record companies put out so much garbage and charge so much for it! It is easy to justify ripping everything that can be begged, borrowed or stolen on these grounds, but I feel guilty.
