Record Industry Goes After Personal Use
it is illegal for someone who has legally purchased a CD to transfer that music into his computer.
They reduced the quality and capabilities when the technology came out (deigned life) so that they can sell the same record/CD again. if they fixed that then Maybe I might agree.
And we can Time shift our music.
But lawyers for consumers point to a series of court rulings over the last few decades that found no violation of copyright law in the use of VCRs and other devices to time-shift TV programs; that is, to make personal copies for the purpose of making portable a legally obtained recording.

This recording group should get with the times…instead of going after people they should JOIN the movement. figure out ways to work with us; maybe come up with some sort of MAJOR web portal where we can download our music for a very small fee (paid yearly for a set number of songs…) and just DO AWAY with CD’s altogether? We can make our own vs buying an entire album for one song….???
I dunno. Right now this punitive stance isn’t winning them any friends in this world; and they depend upon “friends”- AKA customers, for their income.
