At least according to the RIAA, who, along with the MPAA, are trying to make their customers into thieving criminals rather than happy consumers.
Apparently, the RIAA does NOT consider copying a CD that you've purchased onto your MP3 player to be a "fair use" in the legal sense of the term. They merely consider it a temporarily authorized copy... and it's only "authorized" because they really have no way of stopping you. If they had a way, you can be sure they would not allow you to do so without charging you for that privilege.
Unreal. I think if the RIAA and MPAA could come up with a way of charging people for THINKING about a song or a movie clip, they would do so.
