to put it realy simple: Why are you burning CD's for those people when they should go to the store and buy them?

to be a bit more specific, burning a CD isn't illegal. you cna use them to make backups and distribu media that you own. but what you ARE putting on them is illegal

You can make 1 copy of a CD for your OWN use. And a copy means YOU have ALSO the original.

You can copy music to your computer for your OWN use. But again, only if YOU have the original ALSO.

You can NOT distribute CD's to others, unless they contain your OWN material which YOU created from scratch.

This also goes for ALL copyrighted material (CD's, MP3's, data-CD's, movies, etc... etc...)

Now they have DVD Burners , and the dvd companies didnt like this :tongue: In the begining they took it to court to try to get it ruled out but it was ruled legal because people can have right to one legal copy. But there are people who go to BlockBuster (Movie rental store) and rent movies than burn them :-/ Anyway back on topic :P

The law says that you can use CD Burners to burn a copy of a cd and keep it as a legal copy (as long as the cd you burnt is yours) But as soon as you give that CD to somebody else you are breaking the law. I dont know what the law says about burning songs you download onto CD's but ill find out :tongue:

RE: How come burning CD's is illegal
I just relized that this was asking "How come CD Burning is Illegal" everyone said what was Illegal ,  nobody really answered his question.

Well...If you could just copy any CD and give it to a freind than that freind isnt going to have to pay for that CD and than the maker of that CD isnt going to make any money for that CD. So if you bought it , and copied it and you gave it 20 freinds than its only been paid for once and the rest are bassiclly stolen. And you know , if the makers of the CDs dont get any money they think "Well people didnt buy this one , must not be good" and they stop selling them and stop making them. Not to mention all their hard work is put to waste. Hope this explains it for yah :grin:
