O.P. Ripping CDs?
Hi there.
Recently, I started buying a lot more CDs and I've been questioning myself with the following :
Is it legal to rip CDs and load the tracks onto, say, an iPod (or for the sake of it, any other portable media player)? I do not intend to get searched in a near future up to the extent where they will check my mp3 player, but I really would like to know this. It is not like I am going to carry the discs around with me, but, on the other hand, I have no way of prooving I own this or that album.
Also, when I buy a CD I am entitled to the content on the disc and not on any other media format, so maybe this raises also a problem. Technology may have found a way to transform content but that does not mean (legally that is) that we are owners of such property, right?
So, bottom line, can I rip CDs to a portable media player or not?
