Yeah, but she said "brother-in-law", so technically it's family right??? ;-)
As Ross stated, I'm sure that Apple and many others would be stamping a firm "NO" on the content of this email. However, I seriously doubt that you are going to have men in black suits at your door tomorrow morning. You aren't uploading it via KaZaA for others to download, nor are you selling it to anyone. A single iPod can be linked to two computers, so that's not an issue. And as Ross said, a single song bought from the iTunes store can be linked to 5 computers. Ripping a CD via iTunes to store in your music library isn't illegal, as long as it's yours and you don't intend on distributing it. Heck, I'm glad that I did since shortly after I took the time to digitize my music I had over 300 CDs stolen. Heck, if push came to shove I would just say that the iPod is your brother-in-law's, and you are just borrowing it. But that's just me. Yes, it's your conscience. I guess mine is already in bed for the night...

I know that anything bought from iTunes Music Store can be licensed to 5 computers at a time but I don't think that goes as far as 5 non-family members with a computer each. I'm also sure that technically ripping a CD into iTunes has grey-area legality and even if the resulting M4A/MP3/AAC files are legally OK they're not going to be re-distributable. But let's be honest, how is anybody going to know? I'd be more concerned about the iTunes library sync issues with having your iPod linked to his library, unless you use the hard disk capability (of the top-end models) to copy files over as files and import them into your own iTunes. I guess it comes down to your conscience...
