Is it legal to make a backup copy of a CD you have paid for?
lllegal download sites often claim you're legally protected if caught downloading. But is this widely-circulted rumour true?
The short answer is no. Making MP3s or burning copies of CDs or movies you have paid for is not legal in Australia. "With one exception, there is no such thing as making a backup copy of anything [under copyright]," said intellectual property lawyer Micheal Williams.
The only time backup copies are okay is with computer software, although there are strict rules.
You are usually allowed one backup copy, which is not to be shared.
"There's a perception that because DVDs involve some elements of software [for playback on PCs], then it's the same as copying software," he said.
Another mistake people make is to say it's a crime to copy CDs. Williams says copyright breaches aren't technically a criminal offence unless you are selling or distributing the copies.

again whos gonna know and if u sell it to people for money u have that risk of them turning u in or that u get caught selling them so i would suggest just bruning them for personal use otherwise people will find out.

just burn it dude... RIAA isn't gonna do some swat team shit cause your burning a CD... lol it's safe TO COME EXTENT... but i live in canada.. they'll never find my igloo

But I can report your post for suggesting that... RULES

well you need to have a mutual relationship and whose going to find out anyway as long as u dont sell them. Don't sell them, I find that plain wrong, but just understand what i'm saying...
