I also read that the original url I posted regarding a guy in Scottsdale was clarified. The RIAA was not suing him for making copies to his PC. Apparently that is OK with them. The problem is that he put all of his music on a shared drive that others could access and that is what they were suing him for.
So as far as I am concerned as long as the music never leaves your possession you are OK. Thanks for your ideas.
