Ripping Music To Your Computer Is Illegel?

Why didn't they say this 5 years ago.

They did. And then we all got over it and carried on anyway.

Basically at the start of the mp3 era (maybe 6-7 years ago I guess?) loads of record companies were saying how ripping a CD or copying it to an mp3 player was illegal. But then they all realised that mp3s were the future and they stopped moaning about it, and started cashing in on it (à la iTunes).

personally I see that as a load of bullshite... If Ive bought a CD Im going to listen to it how i like .... Im not making any money out of it and im not sharing it with the public - that lawyer can do one.

sharing however is totally different - deffinately illegal - but then again for some people the download to try then buy if they like it enough ....
