Unauthorized doesn't mean copying borrowed material. When you purchase a CD
in the United States, you become the owner of that copied piece of material,
and inherit a certain limited set of rights with it. You are allowed under
the AHRA (Audio Home Recording Act) to make a copy of a CD which you have
legally purchased for personal use. Personal use doesn't mean non-commercial,
it means PERSONAL. That is, you are allowed to listen to it and are not
permitted to give it away.
Count me as part of the 1% that has never copied a borrowed album to MD. The
only unauthorized recordings that I've made are of live concerts.

Yes, but that means for personal use only.
