Copying music to your computer may be illegal

Mosbonian · 01-02-2008, 08:24 PM

Who owns your music?

CNN's Sunny Hostin looks at the music industry's claims that downloading music to a computer could be breaking the law.

Seems the Recording industry now wants to make sure that you don't even download a CD to your own computer regardless if you aren't planning to share it?

Not sure what to make of this......seems a little extreme if you ask me.

So you aren't buying the CD, you are paying to hold on to it.

I am sure they point is that you are buying 1 copy of the music. If you want to use it in multiple places, you will need multiple copies.

Or some such shit as that.

Funny, MS Windows Media Player is programmed to rip media. RIAA needs to take this fight to Mr. Gates. Rotsa ruck!

So if you want one copy for your CD Player, and one copy for your Computer, you have to buy 2 copies.

Are you then allowed to put the 2nd copy on the computer?

Or lets say you only want to listen to music on your computer, can you put that copy on the computer (lets say if you discard the Disc afterwards)?

F the Music Industry, F the Congress, F Metallica and F anyone else that thinks they can ever tell me what I can do with a cd I buy!!!

I reserve the right to make a backup disc, in case I scratch my master Metallica disc while I headbang to their worthless music.

Hydrae · 01-02-2008, 08:36 PM

I want to know how this works with relation to the new record players that have CD burners built into them. I saw one the other day that had a USB so you could record your vinyl directly to your computer. As someone with a couple hundred albums (large round black plastic discs with grooves that can reproduce sound for you youngsters out there

), I have been thinking about getting one of these.

Meh....ripping music is a victim-less crime, it should be legal just like banging 16 yr old cheerleaders!

BigChiefFan · 01-02-2008, 08:37 PM

This is getting out of control. I've bought their damn albums, cassettes, and CDs. I'll be damned if I'm buying multiple copies of the same format. These greedy pricks can take a flyin' leap.

Here's an idea... make BETTER music and the masses will purchase it.

RIAA needs to go **** themselves.

Can't they encode a CD so that it can't be copied?

Probably would take about 2 weeks for someone to break that and then it would be obsolete.
