since when was it theft to make a copy of your own cd, just so you can
play your music without having to juggle cds all the time?

apple is even advertizing their imacs with how easy it is to rip cds,
you'd think they'd get in trouble for that.

it's only illegal if you don't own the cd.
(in some countries not even that is illegal, only selling copies is)
